What is a kingpin?

The kingpin (also king-pin, king pin and k pin) is the main pivot in the steering mechanism of a car or other vehicle.

What damage can a worn-out kingpin do?

Signs of kingpin damage include uneven front tire wear, incorrect vehicle alignment, and a pull in the steering. For example, a loose kingpin in an axle can eventually necessitate replacing the entire axle. Especially when managing a fleet, costs like that accumulate quickly.
A worn-out or damaged kingpin increases the chances of accidents. You immediately fail a road-worthy certificate test with a worn-out or damaged kingpin.
