Replace a worn rear wheel bearing without a hydraulic press using the Dorman OE Solutions Knuckle Kit 698-013, a rear left loaded knuckle for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications in the rear left position. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and trim details.
A worn wheel bearing has traditionally meant a difficult job with a hydraulic press, or buying several separate components. This Dorman OE FIX loaded knuckle arrives with its critical components already assembled, including the wheel bearing and hub, so installation is faster and simpler. For repair shops, a vehicle is less likely to end up stuck in the service bay. For vehicle owners, a job that once required special equipment becomes much more manageable.
- Pre-pressed assembly: This loaded suspension knuckle kit includes the necessary components, ready to install right out of the box.
- Saves time: Helps you avoid long hours wrestling with individual corroded components.
- Simpler solution: No hydraulic press is needed for the bearing repair, so replacement is faster and more predictable for professionals and DIYers alike.
- Quality engineering: Designed in the United States and backed by Dorman's century of automotive aftermarket experience.
Signs the rear wheel bearing may need replacing include a humming, growling or grinding noise that changes with road speed, or play in the wheel. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. If a worn bearing or hub in the original rear left knuckle is the problem, this assembly replaces them in one unit.
