I could probably use the old bearing at a pinch but it is pretty sloppy. T76 is 0.760" ID so there is space for grease to get inside it. I have read they just provide a channel for the grease to get to the outside without being forced around the area to be lubricated. I shall be buying bushes as you have but I was not planning on putting in grease grooves. Timken T76 will work for the thrust bearing although it will need thick shims. Just polishing suitable 0.75" steel would be fine for me. I haven't looked at the steel to use but the one you mention sounds suitable. Like you I would make my own king pins if I had to. I didn't want to keep hammering it because once the pin was belled it would be harder to get out. I tried the club hammer and punch on the pin with no success. I have no info re' your other questions.Bud. King Bolt Assembly kit # KA4 (both catalogs) includesĢ unidentified thrust bearings in the 36 catalog, listed as M41 thrust bearings in the 41 catalog 749 OD, 61/4 in length under head.King Prod is long gone someone here noted who took them over but i failed to note it.HOWEVER, a 1941 McQuay-Norris catalog USES EXACTLY THE SAME NUMBERS which your parts houses may be able to cross index.įWIW, my catalog lists what appears to be a wider? set of vehicles using this set:Ĭhry-28-33-models 52 (4 cyl with 4 wheel brakes), 66, CJ, CM, CI, CO 6s ĭeSoto-28-33-K, CK, SA, SC, SD 6s, CF 8 ĭodge-30-32-DM 4cyk, DD, DF, DH, DL 6s, DC DG 8s (no DE, DJ),ĭodge Trk-30-32-Merchants Express, UF10 4cyl, F10 6cyl 1/2Ton I have a 1936 King Prod Co catalog that lists your set King Pin (aka steering knuckle bolt) their then #K963 lists as. What are the bushes? Oilite or brass with a hole in them to let the grease in? Plymouth '28 Q, 29-U, 30-U, PA, PB (thanks to pl圓3.com for that) 42656) and the bushes, bearing, expansion plugs, shims and lock pin were also used in the following:ĭodge Brothers DD, DE, DF, DH, DC, DJ, DG, DL, DM What are king pins made of? If necessary I should be able to turn one up out of suitable steel. What size is the king pin - diameter and length and where is the locking pin groove?Ģ. I am hoping someone will have a set on the shelf.ġ. I want to have the parts in hand or at least sources lined up before I dismantle. So I have two questions - maybe I can get something by size rather than application. I expect I can buy a thrust bearing here in New Zealand, but not sure about the king pin. It appears the thrust bearing is collapsing. Thanks to the precise manufacturing, you can always rely on the quality of our king pins.My 1930 Dodge Brothers DC has a bit of vertical movement in the left steering knuckle. This can have severe consequences, so febi provides a safe alternative. Dimensional deviations, insufficient hardness depths, and unsuitable material quality can lead to steering failure and compromise the brakes’ effectiveness, among other things. King pins, bushings, and bearings are safety-relevant wear parts. At the same time, it prevents shearing at the points of friction.’ Figure 6- The finished king pins. febi’s commercial vehicle engineers are well aware that ‘a hard surface and perfect accuracy of fit ensures easier installation and smooth guidance of the pin. Precise machining and the pin’s surface hardness are the characteristic quality-features of king pin sets from febi. Figure 5- Grinding, followed by long-lasting corrosion protection. The correct inclination of the grease ducts for axle bushings is also essential to ensure the pivot points’ proper lubrication. If replacement parts are not accurately manufactured, sharp edges may damage seals and allow water to penetrate into bearings. Figure 4- Inductive hardening for long-lasting wear protection. The use of modern CNC machining guarantees the components’ quality, which are so vital to safety. Whilst there are external factors that impact the king pin’s functionality and lifespan, febi goes above and beyond to create a durable, long-lasting king pin designed to withstand such conditions.Ī portion of the articles from the febi range of 11,000 commercial vehicle replacement parts available are manufactured at the company’s own production facilities in Ennepetal, and these include king pins. Figure 3- Mechanical processing of a king pin. lubrication), bad road surfaces, or vehicle overloading. This process is further accelerated by the consequences of poor maintenance (e.g. The permanent exposure of individual components – including bearings, sleeves, and the king pin – to dirt and spray, leads to corrosion and wear. Figure 2- A modern machine park ensures a very precise production.
