Frequently Asked Questions

Will this 2002-2005 Ford Explorer steering knuckle also fit a 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer?

Yes. Dorman 698-127 is listed for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and the 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. Confirm your exact vehicle in the "Vehicles it fits" section.

Is this a front left 2003 Ford Explorer steering knuckle?

Yes. Part 698-127 is a front left knuckle, and the 2003 model year falls within its 2002-2005 Ford Explorer listing.

What does a steering knuckle do?

It connects the wheel hub assembly to the suspension and steering linkage. It pivots as you steer, which lets the front wheel turn.

What are signs the steering knuckle may need replacing?

Pulling, uneven tire wear, an off-center steering wheel or an alignment that won't stay in spec may point to a bent knuckle, though other parts can cause these too. Inspect it after any hard impact.

What should I do after installing the new knuckle?

Follow the vehicle service procedure, move or replace the hub, bearing and brake parts as it directs, and have a wheel alignment performed once the knuckle is installed.
