Dorman 686-251 Steering Knuckle Kit - Front Left
Dorman 686-251 Loaded Steering Knuckle
Dorman 686-251 is a loaded steering knuckle kit for front left service on select Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe models. It brings together the critical wheel-end components in one OE-style assembly to simplify a repair that often requires a press and multiple separate parts.
Key Features
- Loaded steering knuckle assembly for front left applications
- Standard replacement grade for direct service use
- Ball bearing design with ABS sensor-type provision
- Includes hub, bearing, backing plate, snap ring, axle nut, and steering knuckle components
- 5-lug hub configuration with 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter
- 26-spline driven design
- Cross-references MOOG Hub Assemblies LK069 and InMotion Parts WLK069 for the same application
Detailed Description
This Dorman OE FIX loaded knuckle is built to reduce the complexity of replacing a worn wheel bearing and related front-end hardware. Instead of pressing components apart and reassembling them individually, the unit arrives with the critical parts already assembled for a faster, cleaner repair. It is a practical choice for shops and do-it-yourself repairs on 2009-2013 Toyota Matrix and 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe front left positions.
Part number 686-251 is engineered as a standard replacement and includes a ball bearing setup, 5-wheel-stud hub layout, 139 mm brake pilot diameter, and 71.25 mm hub pilot diameter. The assembly also uses a 26-spline driven configuration and is listed with flange bolts included. For fitment-specific searches, this is the front left loaded knuckle for Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe applications where the original assembly has worn bearing or hub components.
Common Repair Uses
- Wheel bearing noise from a worn front left assembly
- Hub play or looseness at the wheel end
- ABS-related service needs at the steering knuckle area
- Damage to the hub, bearing, or backing plate from wear or corrosion
- Time-consuming press-out repairs on Toyota Matrix or Pontiac Vibe front left service
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify front left fitment by year, make, and model before installation. This assembly is intended for 2009-2013 Toyota Matrix, front left, and 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe, front left. Confirm brake pilot diameter, hub pilot diameter, spline count, and ABS sensor-type requirements against the original part before final assembly.
Because this is a loaded knuckle assembly, installation is typically more straightforward than rebuilding the wheel-end components individually. Inspect related steering and suspension parts during service, and follow factory torque procedures for axle and flange fasteners.
Quality Assurance
Dorman OE FIX parts are developed to address common service challenges with a more complete repair solution. Part number 686-251 is built as a standard replacement for the specified Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe front left applications.
