King Pin Kit
Volvo

Front steering on heavy-duty Volvo trucks relies on precise alignment of the king pins where the steering knuckle pivots. The King Pin Kit provides a complete set of pivot pins, bushings, and seals required to restore factory steering geometry and eliminate play. This kit replaces worn components in the front axle, restoring direct, predictable steering response and reducing uneven tire wear caused by loose joints. Proper installation helps bring back optimal camber and toe characteristics, translating to better straight-line stability on highways and improved handling in tight turns. The durable pins are machined to exact tolerances to ensure even load distribution across the knuckle and bearing surfaces, while the accompanying bushings dampen vibration and reduce noise transmitted to the steering column. Seals keep dirt and moisture out of the assembly, extending service life and delaying more extensive front-end work. For technicians, following Volvo service procedures during installation ensures accurate reassembly and reliable performance under load. This kit is a critical maintenance item for trucks with high mileage or heavy-duty duty cycles, helping preserve steering feel and safety. Source One Parts Center.
