Replacing a worn wheel bearing has usually meant a difficult hydraulic-press procedure or buying several separate components. This Dorman OE FIX loaded knuckle comes with all of its critical components already assembled and is designed for a fast, simple install. For repair shops, a vehicle is less likely to sit stuck in the service bay. For vehicle owners, a job that once needed special equipment becomes much easier.
- Pre-pressed assembly: this suspension knuckle kit ships with the necessary components in place, ready to install straight out of the box.
- Saves hours: helps you avoid the extra time spent wrestling with individual corroded components.
- Simpler solution: a complete bearing repair with no hydraulic press, which makes replacement faster and more predictable for professionals and DIYers alike.
- Quality engineering: designed in the United States and backed by a century of automotive aftermarket experience.
A humming or grinding noise that changes with road speed, or play at the wheel, can be a sign that a rear wheel bearing may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque values.
