Rebuild the steering pivot at the front axle with the Mevotech Supreme King Pin Set, MS95996. This precision-engineered set is designed to fit and perform like the original components. It fits many trucks and buses, among them the 2004-2023 Blue Bird Vision School Bus, the 2008-2023 Freightliner Cascadia and the 2001-2020 Freightliner Coronado. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Every steering input passes through the king pin. As it wears, play can develop between the knuckle and the axle. Signs this part may need replacing include excess play in the steering, wandering on the road, clunking when turning and uneven front tire wear. Tie rod ends, wheel bearings and other steering parts can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the front end and confirm the cause before replacing. After installation, check the front-end alignment as directed by the vehicle's service information.
