Skip the hydraulic press and the pile of separate parts with the Dorman OE FIX Steering Knuckle Kit, Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly 698-408, a front right loaded knuckle that arrives with its critical components already assembled. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ and 2006-2011 Mercury Milan, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Repairing a worn wheel bearing has traditionally meant a difficult job on a hydraulic press, or buying several components separately. This loaded knuckle is designed to make that formerly complex, equipment-heavy job much easier. For repair shops, it lowers the chance of a vehicle being stuck in the service bay. For vehicle owners, it puts the repair within reach.
- Pre-pressed assembly: the loaded knuckle kit comes with all the necessary components in place, ready to install straight from the box.
- Time saver: helps you avoid the extended time spent wrestling with individual corroded components.
- Simpler repair: no hydraulic press is needed for a complete bearing repair, so the replacement is 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 front wheel bearing may need replacing if you hear a humming or grinding noise that changes with vehicle speed, or if you notice looseness or play at the wheel. Diagnose the cause before you replace parts. This listing is for the front right position only. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners, whether they may be reused, and any alignment check needed after installation.
