Dorman 686-250 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly - Front Right

Loaded Knuckle for Front Right Repair

Dorman 686-250 is a loaded knuckle and wheel bearing and hub assembly for the front right side. It brings the bearing, hub, steering knuckle, backing plate, axle nut, snap ring, and related mounting pieces together in one OE FIX assembly to simplify a repair that often requires pressing components apart and back together.

Compatible with 2009-2013 Toyota Matrix and 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe, this assembly is built for direct replacement service on the front right corner. It is a practical option when servicing a worn wheel bearing on a Toyota Matrix or Pontiac Vibe and when a complete knuckle assembly is preferred over rebuilding individual parts.

Key Features

• OE FIX loaded knuckle design for faster service
• Front right wheel bearing and hub assembly
• Ball bearing construction
• ABS sensor type application
• 5-lug flange with 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter
• 26-spline driven hub design
• Includes hub, bearing, steering knuckle, backing plate, axle nut, snap ring, and hex head bolts
• Direct replacement for Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe front right applications

Detailed Description

Dorman 686-250 is engineered to replace a worn front right hub and bearing assembly without the extra steps of rebuilding the knuckle from separate components. The loaded knuckle format helps reduce press work and streamlines the repair by supplying the critical parts already assembled. Key dimensions include a 62 mm wheel pilot diameter, 71.25 mm hub pilot diameter, 139 mm flange diameter, and 12 mm wheel stud size.

This part cross-references MOOG Hub Assemblies (e.g., LK070) for the same application. For Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe owners, Dorman 686-250 provides a direct-fit service solution for front right wheel bearing replacement where the original assembly has developed noise, looseness, or ABS-related concerns.

What It Is Used For

• Wheel bearing noise from the front right corner
• Hub looseness or play at the wheel
• ABS sensor-related wheel speed issues on the front right side
• Damage to the steering knuckle or hub mounting area
• Service jobs where pressing out the old bearing is impractical

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Inspect the axle nut, flange surfaces, and surrounding suspension components during service, and confirm all mating surfaces are clean before assembly. Because this is a loaded knuckle design, it is suited to repairs where a complete replacement assembly is preferred over pressing individual bearing components.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are built to simplify common repair challenges by combining critical components into a service-ready assembly. Dorman 686-250 is intended as a direct replacement for the listed Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe applications and follows the OE-style configuration needed for front right driveline and hub service.
