Offset steering axis knuckle system

A vehicle comprising:

• a first control arm assembly for coupling a first front wheel to a frame, wherein the first control arm assembly comprises:
• a first inner knuckle coupled to a first pair of control arms at an upper joint and at a lower joint, wherein the inner knuckle comprises a hole,
• a first steering knuckle coupled to the first inner knuckle, wherein the first steering knuckle is configured to rotate about a first kingpin axis, and
• a pin assembly comprising (i) a pin configured to extend into the hole aligned with the first kingpin axis to form a steering joint and (ii) at least one mounting feature arranged off of the first kingpin axis, wherein when the pin assembly is removed, the first steering knuckle is capable of being decoupled from the first inner knuckle;
• and
• a second control arm assembly for coupling a second front wheel to the frame, wherein the second control arm assembly comprises:
• a second inner knuckle coupled to a second pair of control arms, and
• a second steering knuckle coupled to the second inner knuckle, wherein the second steering knuckle is configured to rotate about a second kingpin axis.

A system comprising:

• an upper control arm configured to rotate about a first joint with a frame;
• a lower control arm configured to rotate about a second joint with the frame, wherein the upper control arm and lower control arm;
• an inner knuckle configured to form an upper joint with the upper control arm and form a lower joint with the lower control arm, wherein the inner knuckle comprises a hole;
• a steering knuckle coupled to the inner knuckle at a steering joint that defines a kingpin axis, wherein the steering knuckle is configured to interface to a wheel, wherein the upper joint is arranged above the steering knuckle, and wherein the steering knuckle is configured to form a tie-rod joint with a tie-rod for steering the wheel;
• and
• a pin assembly comprising (i) a pin configured to extend into the hole aligned with the kingpin axis to form the steering joint and (ii) at least one mounting feature arranged off of the kingpin axis, wherein when the pin assembly is removed, the steering knuckle is capable of being decoupled from the inner knuckle.
