Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Knuckle P/N:686-397
Rust that locks a hub bearing into its knuckle can turn a routine repair into a salvage job, and this DORMAN steering knuckle, part number 686-384, is a front right knuckle made as a direct replacement for the 2016-2024 Dodge Durango, 2016-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK. It is part of the Dorman OE FIX lineup, and its coating targets the corrosion that can seize the knuckle and hub bearing together.
When the original wheel hub assembly is due for replacement, rust can build up between the mating surfaces of the knuckle and the hub bearing until the two seize together. This is common in Salt Belt regions, but it can also develop over time in normal use. When it happens, the original knuckle can be difficult or impossible to reuse.
The steering knuckle holds the wheel hub bearing and connects it to the suspension and steering components, so the front wheel can pivot as you steer. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete application details.
