Default Stupid question maybe , what is a steering knuckle ?

I want to do the 10,3" brake upgrade for my CRX. However I need some Civic EX steering knuckles, and I donīt know exactly what that is. Does anyone have a picture for me ?

Also , anyone else here from europe who have upgraded to 10,3" (262mm) front brakes who might have som tips.
Iīll probably be using CRX VTi parts instead of Civic EX parts , so I donīt know if everything will fit , like the axles.

it is what connects the upper and lower control arms via balljoints and also what the axle goes through.

The piece that has the hub, caliper and rotor on it. It attaches to the
upper control at the top, and I forget what the piece on the bottom is called, LOL and the lower control arm. Basically everything
behind the front wheels that TURNs with the wheels, everything attaches to the "knuckle" LOL
