Front Axle and Propeller Shafts

Kingpin kits, tie rod ends, drag links, steering knuckle bushes, wheel bearings, propeller shafts, universal joints, centre bearings and flanges.

Features

Kingpin kits include bushes, thrust bearings, seals and shims, and the kit is fitted complete because mixing old shims changes the geometry.
Tie rod and drag link ends are checked for play with the wheels loaded, since unloaded checks hide wear.
Propeller shafts are supplied complete or as repair kits with universal joints and centre bearing, depending on tube condition.
Shaft balance matters above a certain length and speed, so a repaired shaft is balanced rather than simply reassembled.
Wheel alignment is reset after front axle work, because a repaired axle on old alignment settings destroys tyres.
