Description

When that loose feeling in your steering wheel starts making you nervous or you notice your tractor wandering down the road when it should track straight, there’s a good chance your king pin socket is worn out. This lower king pin socket is the foundation piece that supports the entire steering system in your front axle. When it’s worn, everything above it gets sloppy, and that’s when steering becomes unpredictable and dangerous.

What You’re Getting

Precision-manufactured socket that restores tight fit between king pin and axle housing
Durable construction designed to handle the constant pivoting forces of farm work
Direct replacement part that fits without modifications or special tools
Quality materials that resist wear from grease contamination and heavy loads

Built for Real Farm Work

Your tractor’s king pins are the pivot points that allow front wheels to turn for steering, enduring tremendous loads and constant movement. Whether you’re operating with a loader, doing heavy field work, or making tight turns at headlands, these components take tremendous forces from every direction while supporting the weight of the entire front axle assembly.

Made to Last

King pin components endure tremendous loads – supporting front axle weight, absorbing steering forces, and handling impact from rough terrain. This replacement features robust construction designed to handle the forces these working tractors impose. The socket maintains critical tolerances so your steering stays tight and responsive like it should.

Installation Notes

King pin socket replacement typically requires removing the front wheel and hub assembly to access the components – usually a 2-3 hour job per side. King pin replacement requires proper front axle support and usually means the bushings need attention too – worn pins and worn sockets go hand in hand. Always inspect all related steering components while you’ve got things apart.
