• Black and silver finish with a proprietary corrosion-resistant coating on critical surfaces
• OE FIX design aimed at reducing rust seizure between the knuckle and hub bearing
• Standard replacement grade for direct repair service
• Front right application for select Nissan Rogue, Rogue Sport, and Qashqai vehicles
• Sensor hole diameter: 10 mm
• Caliper mounting: 2 holes, 14.2 mm diameter

Detailed Description

Dorman 686-456 is a cast iron steering knuckle engineered for front right replacement on 2016-2020 Nissan Rogue, 2017-2022 Nissan Rogue Sport, and 2017-2023 Nissan Qashqai. The OE FIX design uses a proprietary coating to help prevent corrosion between the steering knuckle and wheel hub bearing surfaces, which can simplify future service and improve long-term repair reliability. This makes it a practical choice when the original knuckle has been compromised by rust or seizure. Part number 686-456 is also referenced for the same application under interchange 400144CE0A.

What It Helps Solve

• Seized wheel hub bearing and steering knuckle interfaces caused by corrosion
• Damaged or unsalvageable original knuckles during hub replacement
• Rust-related service difficulty common in salt belt regions
• Front right steering knuckle replacement after wear or corrosion damage
• Repeat repair concerns caused by untreated mating surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right fitment before installation on the specific Nissan Rogue, Rogue Sport, or Qashqai model year. Inspect the hub bearing, caliper mounting points, and sensor opening during service, and replace any worn or corroded related components as needed. Because this part is a bare knuckle, transfer or source the required vehicle-specific components during the repair process. Part number 686-456 should be matched to the vehicle application before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are developed to address known failure points in factory designs with application-specific improvements. This steering knuckle uses cast iron construction and a corrosion-resistant surface treatment to support a more durable repair than the original knuckle design in corrosion-prone service conditions.
