Help keep rust from seizing the wheel hub in place with the Dorman steering knuckle 686-385, a front left direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2024 Dodge Durango, 2016-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK. The steering knuckle links the wheel hub to the steering and suspension components and pivots as the wheel is steered.

On certain 2016-2024 Dodge Durango SUVs, replacing a worn wheel hub assembly can be difficult. Rust grows between the surfaces of the steering knuckle and the wheel hub bearing until the two assemblies seize together. The problem is common in Salt Belt regions, but it can also develop over time under normal use, and it can leave the original knuckle hard or impossible to salvage. This Dorman OE FIX knuckle has a patent-pending, proprietary coating that helps prevent corrosion between those surfaces. Dorman designed it as a more permanent and reliable repair than the factory knuckle design.

  • Improved design: The proprietary coating helps keep rust from forming between the knuckle and hub bearing surfaces.
  • Direct replacement: Engineered to perform like the original steering knuckle on the listed applications.
  • Location-specific: Built for the front left side of the listed vehicles.
  • Trustworthy quality: Backed by a team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.

Signs a knuckle may need replacing include a hub assembly rusted solid to it, visible cracks, or impact damage. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. For engine details on each application of this Dorman OE Solutions steering knuckle, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
