Dorman 686-435 Steering Knuckle Kit - Front Left

Dorman 686-435 Loaded Steering Knuckle

Dorman 686-435 is a loaded steering knuckle kit for the front left side of select Honda Odyssey models. It arrives with the hub, bearing, and dust shield already assembled, helping reduce the time and equipment normally needed for a wheel bearing service.

For 2018-2024 Honda Odyssey front left applications, this OE FIX-style assembly simplifies replacement of a worn steering knuckle and bearing unit while keeping the critical mounting and wheel-end dimensions in one service part.

Key Features

• Loaded steering knuckle kit for front left fitment
• Includes hub, bearing, and dust shield preassembled
• Steel construction for standard replacement service
• ABS encoder type integrated into the bearing assembly
• 5-lug wheel pattern with 14 mm wheel studs
• Designed for 2018-2024 Honda Odyssey front left applications
• Dorman part number 686-435

Detailed Description

This steering knuckle kit is built for direct service on the front left wheel end of the Honda Odyssey. It uses a steel knuckle with a ball bearing design, 30 splines, and a circular flange layout. The assembly includes the hub and bearing already installed, which eliminates the separate press work typically required when replacing a worn wheel bearing. The unit also includes the dust shield and is configured for ABS encoder operation.

Fitment coverage includes 2018-2024 Honda Odyssey, front left. If you are replacing a damaged knuckle, noisy bearing, or a wheel-end assembly that has worn beyond normal service limits, Dorman 686-435 provides a complete replacement path for this application. This part cross-references Honda OE part number 51216THRA01 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Wheel bearing noise from a worn front left hub assembly
• Steering knuckle damage from impact or corrosion
• ABS-related wheel-end issues tied to the encoder bearing setup
• Excessive wheel play caused by bearing wear
• Time-consuming press-out bearing service during repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment before installation on 2018-2024 Honda Odyssey models. Inspect related suspension, brake, and axle components for wear before reassembly. Because this is a loaded knuckle assembly, confirm all mounting points, stud pattern, and sensor-related interfaces match the original part before service begins.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are built to streamline repairs by combining the critical wheel-end components into one service assembly. Dorman 686-435 follows a standard replacement format for the specified Honda Odyssey applications and is engineered around the original equipment service layout.
