Kingpin, 3/4 in. Bolster Plate
SAF-Holland

This bolster-plate accessory supports mushroom-series kingpin assemblies, designed to distribute bearing load across the seating surface and improve seating integrity on 2 inch diameter pivots. The 3/4 inch bolster plate thickness (as indicated by the product designation) helps to reduce stress concentrations, promoting extended seating life and more consistent alignment under heavy-duty service. The mushroom-series model designation and kingpin-family context signal system-level compatibility with a wide range of front-end platforms, enabling straightforward replacement across fleets. The VMRS code situates the component within the steering axis assembly, facilitating accurate inventory control and cross-referencing with related front-end parts. In practice, Clean mounting surfaces, verify proper fit with the pivot bore, and torque to spec while monitoring for wear after heavy use. This accessory is particularly beneficial in high-load or off-road applications where load distribution and seating stability translate directly into steering feel, handling precision, and component longevity.
