Skip the hydraulic press on your next wheel bearing job with the Dorman OE FIX Loaded Steering Knuckle Kit, part number 686-244. This front right assembly combines the steering knuckle with a wheel bearing and hub assembly already pressed in. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, the 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix.
Fixing a worn wheel bearing has traditionally meant a difficult hydraulic-press procedure or buying several separate components. Dorman's loaded knuckle arrives with all critical components already assembled and is designed for a fast, simple, safe install. For shops, a vehicle is less likely to get stuck in the service bay. For owners, a formerly complex job that needed special equipment becomes much easier.
- Pre-pressed assembly: The complete loaded knuckle kit comes with all necessary components ready to install right out of the box.
- Saves time: Designed to help you avoid long hours wrestling with individual corroded components.
- Simpler solution: No hydraulic press is needed for a complete bearing repair. This is intended to make replacement faster and more predictable for professionals and DIYers alike.
- Quality engineering: Designed in the United States and backed by a century of automotive aftermarket experience.
The steering knuckle links the wheel end to the suspension and steering, and the bearing and hub let the wheel turn smoothly. A humming or growling noise that changes with road speed, play in the wheel, or uneven tire wear are signs a wheel bearing may need replacing. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
