Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Knuckle Kit,Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly P/N:686-266
Skip the hydraulic press on your next wheel bearing repair with the Dorman OE FIX Steering Knuckle Kit / Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly 686-445, a front left loaded knuckle for the 2012-2019 Nissan Versa, 2014-2019 Nissan Versa Note and 2020-2024 Nissan V-Drive. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications and arrives with its critical components already assembled, so the install is designed to be fast, simple and safe.
The traditional way to fix a worn wheel bearing means a difficult hydraulic press procedure or buying several separate components. Here the Dorman wheel hub and bearing come pre-pressed into the knuckle. For repair shops, that makes a vehicle less likely to sit in the service bay. For owners, it makes a job that once needed special equipment much easier. This part is listed under both names, steering knuckle kit and wheel bearing and hub assembly.
A humming or grinding noise that changes with road speed, or play and looseness at the wheel, can mean a wheel bearing may need replacing. If a worn front left bearing is the cause, this assembly replaces the bearing and hub together with the knuckle. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full fitment details.

Will this work for a 2012 Nissan Versa wheel bearing replacement?
Yes. It is a direct-fit front left loaded knuckle for the listed applications, including the 2012-2019 Nissan Versa. See the Buyer's Guide tab for every covered vehicle.
What is a loaded knuckle?
It is a steering knuckle with the wheel bearing and hub assembly already pressed in, so the parts install together as one pre-assembled unit.
Do I need a hydraulic press to install this Dorman wheel bearing?
No. The bearing and hub come pre-pressed into the knuckle, so the bearing repair needs no press. Follow your vehicle's service procedure for removal and installation.
What are signs the wheel bearing may need replacing?
Common signs include a humming or grinding noise that changes with speed and play at the wheel. Diagnose the cause first. If the front left bearing is worn, this assembly replaces it.
Can a loaded knuckle affect wheel bearing replacement cost?
Shop pricing varies. Because the components arrive assembled and no press work is needed, this kit is designed to cut the time spent on the repair.
