FRONT STEERING AXLE
TYPICAL
KING PIN
REPAIR
FRONT SPRING SUSPENSION
STEMCO Kaiser
grease grooved pins and NO-REAM bushing assemblies with seals will repair
all positions on front springs and some rear spring applications.
It is not necessary to remove the spring from the vehicle.
Repairing one end of the spring at a time will keep its
position with the hanger. Drive out old pin and bushing
and clean spring eye. Follow normal installation
procedures.
Check pin in bushing assembly after it has been
driven into the spring eye. Pin should not bind in
bushing assembly.
The grooving on the pin provides more grease for better lubrication.
The seals on each end of the assembly keep lubrication in and dirt out. The combination provides longer life and
less maintenance between repairs.
The repair of both front springs requires 6
spring pins and 6 bushing assemblies.
STEMCO Kaiser NO REAM
king pin repairs do not require the complete
removal of the spindle. Tear the unit down until the bushings can be
removed. Be sure the spindles are clean and free from burrs prior to
installing the bushings. Spiral bushings are easily installed by hand. After
bushings are installed use the king pin to check for proper fit and clearance
prior to placing the spindle back on the axle.
Be sure and follow the installation instruction in the kit.
NO King Pin can repair worn axle or spindle eyes.
Axle eyes can be repaired with the
STEMCO Kaiser Spiral Steel Bushing must be used
with STEMCO Kaiser grease grooved king pin.
