Removable 2-Inch Kingpin
SAF-Holland

Removable 2-inch kingpin is a primary suspension-interface component that anchors the front axle to the vehicle frame, allowing articulation while compensating steering and load transfer. Made from high-strength steel and manufactured to precise tolerances, the 2-inch diameter pin engages in a standard kingpin pocket, delivering robust pivot performance under repetitive braking, acceleration, and cornering forces. The removable design simplifies service and replacement during maintenance cycles, reducing downtime and enabling easier access to wheel-end and steering linkage. VMRS code 077-005-001 places it in the kingpin and alignment hardware category, assisting with spare-part provisioning and cross-compatibility across fleets. Category 42724 places the item among front-axle mounting components essential for steering geometry and weight distribution. In practice, the pin must withstand significant shear and bending loads, resist wear at the bearing surfaces, and maintain roundness and concentricity to minimize tire scrub and poor tracking. This part is widely used in heavy-duty on- and off-road applications, including highway tractors, vocational trucks, and agricultural equipment, where maintainable front-axle connection and predictable steering response are critical.
