Take the press work out of a Subaru Forester wheel bearing job with the Dorman OE Solutions Suspension Knuckle Kit / Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly 698-418, a rear right loaded knuckle. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2008 Subaru Forester. It is listed under both part-type names because the knuckle comes with the wheel bearing and hub already assembled.
Replacing a worn wheel bearing has traditionally meant a difficult hydraulic-press procedure or buying several separate components. This Dorman OE FIX loaded knuckle arrives with its critical components already assembled and is designed for a fast, simple, safe install. For repair shops, a vehicle stuck in the service bay becomes less likely. For owners, a job that once called for special equipment becomes much easier.
- Pre-pressed assembly: The loaded knuckle kit comes with its necessary components ready to install right out of the box.
- Saves time: It is designed to spare you extended hours wrestling individual corroded components apart.
- Simpler solution: No hydraulic press is needed for the bearing repair, which makes Subaru Forester rear wheel bearing replacement faster and more predictable for professionals and DIYers alike.
- Quality engineering: It is designed in the United States and backed by Dorman's century of automotive aftermarket experience.
Signs a wheel bearing may need replacing include a humming or growling noise that changes with road speed, and looseness or play at the wheel. Diagnose the cause before ordering, because tires and other parts can make similar noises. This loaded knuckle is for the rear right position.
