Replace a bent or cracked front knuckle with the Dorman steering knuckle 698-111. This front left knuckle carries the wheel-end components, ties them to the suspension and steering linkage, and lets the front wheel pivot as you steer. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer.

This Dorman OE Solutions steering knuckle is precision-engineered and rigorously tested to replace the original knuckle on the listed applications.

  • Direct replacement: designed to take the place of the original front left knuckle on specific vehicles.
  • Reliable fit: precision-engineered to match the dimensions of the original components.
  • Trustworthy construction: built to strict standards using durable materials.
  • Rigorously tested: put through thorough quality-control measures.

A steering knuckle may need replacing if an impact, such as a curb strike or a deep pothole, has bent or cracked it. Signs can include steering pull, uneven tire wear or an alignment that won't set to specification. Worn ball joints, tie rods or wheel bearings can cause similar signs, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Check the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused, and have the alignment checked after installation. For engine-specific details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
