I hear "steering knuckle" used generically too. There is such a thing with Macpherson strut arrangements and others but its pretty incorrect elsewhere. Want to see one? I can "xerox" a copy for you.

Handy as heck around the shop and yard works for me. 480 or 580 case comes to mind. Mighty handy tool. But I would prefer a ford 8 or 9N more.
