Restore the precision and safety of your early Volkswagen’s front suspension with this Complete King Pin Rebuild Kit. Designed for the "King and Link Pin" axle beams found on pre-1966 models, this kit addresses the primary source of front-end "slop" and steering wander.
Over decades, the king pin bushings wear down, leading to excessive camber movement and unstable handling. This kit provides the high-quality, hardened steel pins and brass bushings required to refresh the vertical pivot points of your spindles. By performing this service, you ensure a tighter steering response and more consistent tire wear during daily driving or vintage touring.

Tech Tip: Reinstalling king pins is a precision task. The new brass bushings must be pressed into the spindle carriers and then line-reamed to the specific diameter of the pins to ensure a smooth, bind-free pivot. We recommend having a professional machine shop perform the pressing and reaming for the best results.
