Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Century 112/120 Dash Knobs
Will these dash knobs fit my specific year Freightliner Century 112 or 120?
These dash knobs are designed to fit Freightliner Century 112 and 120 models from 1996 through 2011. They are direct replacements for OEM knobs on the dash control panels, including HVAC controls, light switches, and wiper controls. However, some mid-year production changes may affect compatibility, so we recommend checking your existing knob shaft size (typically 1/4" or 6mm) before ordering.
Are these knobs made of the same material as factory originals, or will they crack and fade like my old ones?
Most replacement knobs are manufactured from high-grade ABS plastic or chrome-plated materials that resist UV fading and cracking better than many original equipment knobs. Chrome options provide additional durability and a premium appearance. The knobs feature reinforced mounting points to prevent the common splitting issue seen in factory knobs after years of use.
How difficult is it to replace these dash knobs, and what tools do I need?
Installation is straightforward and typically takes 5-10 minutes per knob. Most knobs are friction-fit or use a small set screw. You'll need a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry off old knobs and possibly a small Allen wrench for set screw models. No dash disassembly is required - simply pull straight out on the old knob with gentle wiggling motion, then push the new knob firmly onto the shaft until fully seated.
What styles and finishes are available, and will they match my existing dash?
Dash knobs are available in several finishes including matte black, gloss black, chrome, and brushed aluminum. Black options match factory interior styling, while chrome and aluminum provide a custom upgraded appearance. Most knobs feature clear indicator markings or pointer lines. For the most cohesive look, we recommend replacing all visible knobs at once since new knobs may have slightly different finishes than aged factory knobs.
My old knobs are stripped inside or the shafts are damaged - will new knobs still work?
If your control shafts are damaged or worn, new knobs may not grip properly. For stripped plastic shafts, you can often wrap the shaft with thin electrical tape to increase diameter for a tighter fit. For severely damaged shafts, the control unit itself may need replacement. Before ordering, test your shafts by gently rotating them with pliers - if they turn the controls properly, new knobs should work fine.
