Is your vintage truck or pre-1960s car experiencing violent shaking at highway speeds, often called the "Death Wobble"? Or perhaps your steering feels loose and "wandering"? The culprit is likely worn-out king pins. Before ball joints became standard, the King Pin was the heavy-duty pivot point connecting your steering knuckle to the axle.
At Old Car Parts NW, we stock authentic NORS (New Old Replacement Stock) King Pin Sets designed to restore factory-tight steering precision.
The NORS Advantage: Steel vs. Nylon
Many modern "quick-fix" reproduction kits use soft nylon bushings that wear out quickly. Our inventory features USA-Made vintage kits (often from Moog, TRW, or McQuay-Norris) that typically include:
Hardened Steel Pins: Precision-ground to withstand thousands of pounds of force.
Bronze or Metal Bushings: The gold standard for durability (some may require reaming for a perfect custom fit).
Complete Hardware: Includes heavy-duty thrust bearings, shims, lock pins, and freeze plugs.
Restoration Grade Parts For:
Vintage Trucks: Ford F-Series, Chevy/GMC C-Series, and Dodge Power Wagons.
Classic Cars: Ford Model A, early V8s, and pre-1955 solid-axle passenger cars
