Dorman OE FIX Wheel Hub and Knuckle Assemblies Now Available at Summit Racing

Repairing a wheel hub or a suspension knuckle assembly is not a job for the faint-hearted. You have to disassemble the unit, press out the old bearing and press in the new one (or more likely, have it done), and put everything back together. Even properly-equipped shops don’t like doing these repairs.

Dorman says don’t repair that old junk—replace it with its OE FIX assembled wheel hubs and knuckle assemblies. The units are factory-assembled using brand new parts, so all you have to do is remove the old assembly and bolt on the Dorman part. What’s not to like?

Wheel Hub Assemblies
If you go to a dealer for a replacement wheel hub assembly, what you’ll get is a box of parts that have to be assembled into a single unit. That involves the use of a specialized shop press to press the wheel bearing into the hub. That means a trip to a shop that has the right press, adding to the cost of the repair.

Dorman’s OE FIX pre-pressed wheel hub assemblies make the job a simple do-it-yourself proposition. Dorman assembles the hub with all-new components—hub, bearing, necessary seals, and bolts—so it’s ready to install out of the box. Even better, a Dorman OE FIX hub assembly is less expensive than buying the components separately. Watch this Dorman video to learn more.

Knuckle Assemblies
Steering and suspension knuckles are another wear item that can require the use of a heavy-duty shop press to remove and replace the bearing. If the knuckle assembly is full of rust (which is often the case), the job will take even longer.

Save yourself the headaches and replace the entire assembly with a Dorman OE FIX Loaded Knuckle Assembly. Dorman did the hard work for you—the unit comes assembled with the bearing, backing plate, and hub. If you are replacing a rear knuckle, Dorman even installs the rear brake shoes and hardware. Nobody else does that.
