Rebuild the steer axle knuckle pivot properly with this King Pin Kit with Composite Bushings distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires. This is the complete kit for Meritor steer axles using the opposite-side double draw key (DD) arrangement, and it rebuilds the pivot the whole front end turns on. A king pin that has gone loose does not fail quietly: you get play in the steering wheel, a truck that wanders and hunts on the highway, feathered and scrubbed steer tires, and eventually an out-of-service finding at inspection. We stock these heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets, diesel repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.
Steering Geometry Restored: The Composite Bushing King Pin Kit Advantage
The knuckle pivot is the joint that decides where the steer tire actually points. Once the pin and bushings wear, the knuckle can move independently of the steering input, and no amount of alignment work will hold a setting on a loose front end. This kit rebuilds that pivot around composite bushings and puts the steer axle back to its designed geometry, which is what takes the wander out of the wheel and stops the front tires from wearing themselves out sideways.
Everything the job needs is in the box: 2x 460.T182S, 2x 467.001, 2x 467.013, 2x MLP7103, 2x MLP7102, 4x FLN101, 4x G1803, 2x 460.73 and 2x 460.94. At FleetPro Parts & Tires, we know a king pin job is not one you want to start twice, so match the draw key arrangement before you order โ this is the double draw key (DD) version, where the keys enter from opposite sides. It is a direct replacement for the highly searched industry number Meritor R201609.
