Skip the hydraulic press and the pile of separate parts with the Dorman OE Solutions Steering Knuckle Kit / Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly, part number 686-437. This front left loaded knuckle is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications on the 2020-2024 Ford Escape. It arrives with its critical components already assembled for a faster, simpler install. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Replacing a worn wheel bearing has traditionally meant pressing parts in and out with a hydraulic press, or buying several components separately. Dorman's OE FIX loaded knuckle is designed to make that job easier. For repair shops, it helps keep vehicles from sitting in the service bay. For vehicle owners, it turns a job that once needed special equipment into a much more manageable one. This part is listed under both names, Steering Knuckle Kit and Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly.
- Pre-pressed assembly: the loaded knuckle kit includes the necessary components, assembled and ready to install right out of the box.
- Time-saving design: designed to spare you long sessions wrestling with individual corroded components.
- Simpler solution: no hydraulic press is needed for the bearing repair, 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.
Signs this assembly may need replacing include a humming or growling noise that changes with vehicle speed, or play in the front left wheel. Have the cause diagnosed first. If a worn wheel bearing is the problem, this loaded knuckle replaces it as one pre-assembled unit.
