Detailed Description

National HK-2816 is a steering knuckle needle bearing designed for front suspension service where accurate shaft and housing dimensions matter. The bearing measures 1.1024 in. bore, 1.3780 in. outside diameter, and 0.6299 in. width, with closely controlled housing and shaft diameter ranges for proper seating and rotation. This part is a direct-fit style replacement for select 1979-1987 Chevrolet LUV, 1981-1987 Isuzu Pickup, and 1984-1987 Isuzu Trooper front applications that use an Isuzu axle and independent front suspension. If you are sourcing a National HK-2816 for an Isuzu Pickup or Chevrolet LUV front steering knuckle repair, these dimensions and fitment details help confirm the correct bearing before installation.

What It Helps Fix

• Front steering knuckle looseness or play
• Rough or noisy bearing rotation in the knuckle
• Improper shaft support at the front suspension pivot point
• Wear-related handling issues tied to bearing clearance
• Service needs on Isuzu Pickup, Isuzu Trooper, and Chevrolet LUV front suspension assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bore, shaft diameter, and housing dimensions against the removed bearing before installation. Clean the knuckle bore and inspect the shaft and surrounding components for wear, scoring, or damage that could affect bearing life. Confirm front-position fitment and the vehicle’s Isuzu axle and independent front suspension configuration before ordering or installing National HK-2816.
