A method for a steer axle knuckle of a vehicle is provided. The method comprises welding a steer arm and a tie rod arm to a knuckle body by linear friction welding. The method further includes, in one example, pairing a plurality of first contact surfaces of the knuckle body and a plurality of steer arm contact surfaces of the steer arm prior to the welding; pairing a plurality of second contact surfaces of the knuckle body and a plurality of tie rod arm contact surfaces of the tie rod arm prior to the welding. Each of the plurality of first contact surfaces, second contact surfaces, steer arm contact surfaces, tie rod arm contact surfaces is machined prior to the welding.
