Replacing a worn wheel bearing has traditionally meant a difficult job on a hydraulic press, or buying several components separately. This Dorman OE FIX loaded knuckle comes with the wheel bearing and hub already pressed in and is designed for a fast, simple and safe install. For shops, it helps keep vehicles from getting stuck in the service bay; for owners, it makes a once-complex job much easier.
This listing is for the front right position. If a worn wheel bearing at that corner is the cause of noise or looseness, this assembly replaces the knuckle, bearing and hub as one unit.
