Loaded Rear Left Suspension Knuckle Kit

SKP SK698013 is a loaded suspension knuckle kit for the rear left side on select Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models. It is built for direct replacement service where the rear knuckle assembly, hub, bearing, backing plate, brake shoes, and related hardware are specified in the application notes.

Key Features

  • Loaded suspension knuckle kit for rear left installation
  • Fits 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, rear left, with application-specific notes
  • Fits 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer, rear left, with application-specific notes
  • Includes hub, bearing, backing plate, brake shoes, and hardware as listed in fitment notes
  • SKP part number SK698013 for catalog and service matching
  • Cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 698-013 for the same application

Application Details

This SKP suspension knuckle kit is intended for rear left service on 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer models. Fitment includes 2002 vehicles with traction control and without traction control, with the no-traction-control application noted as from 3/04/02. The part number SK698013 is also listed against OE-style interchange references for easier identification during repair planning.

Common Repair Uses

  • Rear knuckle damage from corrosion, impact, or wear
  • Wheel bearing noise or looseness at the rear left corner
  • Brake shoe or backing plate service on the rear axle
  • Hub assembly replacement during suspension repair
  • Restoring proper rear suspension and brake mounting points

Installation Notes

Verify rear left fitment by year, model, and traction control configuration before ordering. Compare the existing knuckle, hub, and brake backing components to the vehicle notes, especially on 2002 Explorer and Mountaineer applications. Professional installation is recommended because rear suspension and brake components must be assembled and torqued to vehicle specifications.

Quality Assurance

SKP SK698013 is cataloged as a direct-fit replacement suspension knuckle kit for the listed Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer applications. Use the OE-style interchange reference and vehicle-specific notes to confirm the correct rear left part before service.
