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.

Key Features

• Complete Spindle Service: One kit contains the components necessary to rebuild both the driver and passenger side king pins.

• Heavy-Duty Materials: Features hardened steel pins and high-tolerance brass bushings designed for long-term durability under heavy suspension loads.

• Eliminates Front-End Play: Specifically targets the vertical wear points that cause steering vibration and unstable tracking.

• OEM Specification Fitment: Engineered to match factory tolerances for a seamless restoration of your early VW's handling characteristics.

Vehicle Fitment

This kit is essential for early air-cooled Volkswagens utilizing the King and Link-Pin front axle beam.

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.
