Swap a worn front wheel bearing without a hydraulic press with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Knuckle Kit / Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly (Loaded Knuckle) 686-423. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front left corner of the 2013-2022 Buick Encore [All] and 2013-2022 Chevrolet Trax [All]. This Dorman OE FIX loaded knuckle arrives with the critical components already assembled, so the formerly press-dependent bearing job installs faster for both shops and DIYers.
Pre-pressed assembly: the loaded knuckle ships with the hub, ball-type Gen 1 wheel bearing, and five M12x1.5 wheel studs already installed, ready to bolt on right out of the box.
Simpler bearing repair: no hydraulic press is needed to complete the job, making replacement more predictable.
Integrated ABS encoder: the assembly carries a 25-spline hub and an ABS encoder ring; a connector is not included.
Iron build, painted black finish.
Package contents: 1 loaded knuckle, 1 washer, 1 bolt, 1 nut, and 1 axle nut. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct torque and any additional fasteners. Designed in the United States; country of origin: China. This item is listed under both "Steering Knuckle Kit" and "Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly" names.
