Skip the hydraulic press and get the wheel bearing job done with the Dorman OE Solutions 686-371 Front Left Loaded Knuckle. This steering knuckle kit with wheel bearing and hub assembly arrives pre-pressed and ready to install. It is a direct-fit replacement for the front left position on the 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline.
Replacing a worn wheel bearing has traditionally meant a difficult hydraulic-press procedure or buying several separate components. Dorman's OE FIX loaded knuckle is designed to simplify that job by supplying the critical components already assembled.
Pre-pressed assembly: The loaded knuckle kit includes the necessary components, assembled and ready to install right out of the box.
Designed to save time: It helps avoid the extra hours that can go into wrestling with individual corroded components.
No press required: Because no hydraulic press is needed for a complete bearing repair, the kit is designed to make replacement faster and more predictable for professionals and DIYers alike.
Quality engineering: It is designed in the United States and backed by Dorman's century of automotive aftermarket experience.
Signs that the bearing and hub on this corner may need replacing include a humming or growling noise that changes with vehicle speed, looseness or play at the wheel, and uneven tire wear. Other parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Consult the vehicle service information for torque values, the correct fasteners, and whether the originals may be reused. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete fitment details.
