A knuckle joint is a mechanical joint used to connect two rods which are under tensile load .Now a days increase in weight of the vehicle is the major problem in automobile industry. In order to reduce the weight of the materials, different compositions of materials are combined together to get a lighter and stronger material. Knuckle joint is used when axis coincides or intersects and lies in the same plane. In this joint, one end of the rod is eye and other end is forked with legs. The design of the knuckle joint is done by analytical method with different materials like cast iron and composite material (Teflon). After the analytical method design, Modelling of knuckle is done by using modelling soft-ware (UNIGRAPHICS). The design calculation from the modelling for analysis of knuckle is done in FEA software (HYPER MESH ).This result lead to the determination of stress in existing model. By predicting the stress concentration area, the Knuckle working life increase and reduce the failure stress.
