Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Knuckle Kit,Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly P/N:686-253
Replace a worn 2007-2011 Toyota Camry wheel bearing, or one on the 2007-2012 Lexus ES350, without a hydraulic press: the Dorman OE Solutions Steering Knuckle Kit / Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly 686-260 is a front right loaded knuckle and a direct-fit replacement for the listed 2007-2011 Toyota Camry and 2007-2012 Lexus ES350 applications.
Fixing a worn wheel bearing has usually meant a difficult hydraulic-press procedure or buying several separate components. This Dorman OE FIX loaded knuckle arrives with the critical components already assembled for a fast, simple install. For repair shops, that makes a vehicle less likely to get stuck in the service bay. For owners, it makes a formerly complex job that needed special equipment much easier. The part is listed under both names, steering knuckle kit and wheel bearing and hub assembly.
The steering knuckle connects the wheel to the suspension and steering linkage, and the wheel bearing and hub assembly lets the wheel rotate on it. Signs this part may need replacing include a humming or growling noise that changes with speed, play in the wheel, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Engine details for each application are in the Buyer's Guide tab.

What is a loaded steering knuckle?
It is a steering knuckle with the wheel bearing and hub assembly already pressed in. The critical components arrive assembled as one unit, so no hydraulic press is needed to complete the bearing repair.
Which side of the vehicle is Dorman 686-260 for?
Dorman 686-260 is cataloged as the front right loaded knuckle for the listed applications.
Will this replace the front right wheel bearing on a 2007 Toyota Camry?
Yes. It is listed for the 2007-2011 Toyota Camry and the 2007-2012 Lexus ES350 in the front right position. Engine details are in the Buyer's Guide tab.
How does a loaded knuckle affect wheel bearing replacement cost?
Final cost depends on the shop and the vehicle's condition. Because the bearing comes pre-pressed, the job skips the hydraulic press step, which is designed to save hours spent on corroded parts.
What are signs a wheel bearing may need replacing?
Common signs include a humming or growling noise that changes with speed, looseness or play in the wheel, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
