Skip the hydraulic press and the pile of separate parts with the Dorman OE Solutions Suspension Knuckle Kit, Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly 698-419. This rear left loaded knuckle is a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2008 Subaru Forester. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Repairing a worn wheel bearing has usually meant a difficult hydraulic-press procedure or buying several components separately. Dorman's OE FIX loaded knuckle arrives with its critical components already assembled for a fast, simple install. For repair shops, that lowers the chance of a vehicle being stuck in the service bay. For owners, it makes a job that once needed special equipment much easier.
- Pre-pressed assembly: the loaded knuckle kit comes with the necessary components ready to install straight out of the box.
- Time saver: designed to spare you long hours fighting seized, corroded individual components.
- No press required: a complete bearing repair can be done without a hydraulic press, which makes the replacement faster and more predictable for professionals and DIYers.
- Quality engineering: designed in the United States and backed by Dorman's century of automotive aftermarket experience.
A wheel bearing may need replacing if you notice a humming or grinding noise that changes with road speed, or play or looseness at the wheel. Diagnose the cause before you replace any parts. Check the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners, the torque values, and whether any fasteners can be reused.
