Kingpin REPAIR SERVICES

If you’re looking for kingpin repair, you’ve come to the right place.

trucks & heavier vehicles

When talking in terms of a motor vehicle, a kingpin is the part that is the main pivot point in the steering mechanics. Though physical kingpins aren’t in many motor vehicles anymore, they are still used in mechanics of some trucks and heavier vehicles, because they are able to carry so much weight.

physical vs. virtual kingpins

Though many current-era automobile front suspension uses a physical kingpin, the axis made up of steering knuckle pivot points acts as the “virtual” kingpin. This is the spot upon which the wheel turns.

Kingpin components

The material kingpins are made out of depends on the make and model of the vehicle. Examples of the specific material that kingpins may be made out of include alloy steels like:

HOW WE WORK

offering quality inspections and repairs

A kingpin replacement generally takes 6-8 hours. When one of our skilled technicians performs a repair, they will also examine the knuckle eyes for wear. We know that a simple kingpin replacement set overlooks the worn knuckle eyes that give the it just enough play to erode holes faster than normal. One of our trained specialists can in-line bore and sleeve knuckle holes for a precise fit and give your kingpin set a full life. This will save you time, money, and frustration, and who doesn’t want that?

Checking the condition of your kingpins regularly is important to the safety of your rig. If it is worn out, the stability of your entire vehicle is compromised.

Kingpin REPAIR Service

Are worn kingpins dangerous? The short answer is, yes. Without proper lubrication, kingpin bushings can cause contact points to wear at the steering knuckle. When a kingpin is not in working condition, it can be very dangerous to drive your vehicle. Further damage may be incurred to your vehicle without a proper diagnosis/repair.

How long do kingpins generally last? In general, kingpins have a lifespan of about 750,000 miles. With good maintenance, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever need a kingpin replacement more than once in your truck’s lifetime.
