Detailed Description

This Dorman loaded knuckle is engineered to replace a worn front right wheel bearing and hub assembly without requiring the separate assembly of multiple components. By supplying the critical parts already assembled, 686-364 helps streamline service and reduce the need for specialized press equipment. It is a direct-fit repair solution for 2014-2016 Kia Soul models and supports a cleaner, more efficient wheel-end repair process.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Wheel bearing noise from the front right side
• Excessive play or looseness at the wheel hub
• Hub or bearing wear that requires knuckle removal
• Service delays caused by press-dependent bearing replacement
• Dust shield replacement needs during wheel-end repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on 2014-2016 Kia Soul front right applications only. Verify spline count, mounting points, and brake component clearance before installation. Because the hub and bearing are already assembled into the knuckle, the repair process is simpler than a traditional press-in bearing service, but proper torque procedures and alignment checks remain important after installation.
