A Heli-coil would be a much better repair and much more likely to 
stay in place. 

I don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place. Finding 
someone with an M10 x 1 Helicoil set might be tough, but the price 
of the kit is still a lot less than the price of a good used steering 
knuckle.

PS, I just checked my catalog and Heli-coil DOES make this size.
