Longer life for rebuilt kingpins.
Loose kingpins can cause steering difficulties and excess tire wear that can sideline your truck. Too often, the traditional rebuilt kingpin lasts only half as long. When a technician rebuilds your kingpin, he should also examine the knuckle for wear. Simply replacing the kingpin set overlooks worn knuckles that give the kingpin just enough play to erode the holes even more. A trained Axle Surgeon® specialist can in-line bore and sleeve knuckle holes for a precise fit and give your kingpin set a full life.
Get your truck fit to report back to work in hours.
In addition to treating kingpins and knuckles, we replace damaged drive and trailer spindles as well as spider plates on vehicles 3/4-ton and up. Axle Surgeons® replacement techniques are safer and more durable than old-fashioned patches or repairs. Only Axle Surgeons® are trained to use our new, more effective and fully patented process and products.
