Skip the seized-knuckle fight and bolt in a complete, pre-assembled corner with the Dorman - OE Solutions Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly 686-449 (686449). This Dorman OE FIX loaded steering knuckle is a front-left, direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2018 RAM 1500 and 2019-2022 RAM 1500 CLASSIC. On many of these trucks, rust builds between the steering knuckle and the wheel hub bearing until the two seize together — a problem common in Salt Belt regions but one that can also develop under normal use, sometimes making the original knuckle difficult or impossible to salvage. This kit sidesteps that by shipping ready to install.
Improved design: a patent-pending, proprietary coating helps prevent corrosion between the mating surfaces for a more permanent, reliable repair than the OE knuckle design.
Saves labor: pre-assembled for a faster, simpler, safe installation on the specified Ram trucks, with no shop press required.
Location-specific: includes a new front-left knuckle, wheel bearing, hub, and application-specific hardware.
Trustworthy quality: backed by a team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.
Because it locates and secures the wheel and integrates the bearing and knuckle, this assembly addresses front-left corner issues when a worn bearing or seized knuckle is the cause.
