King Pins & Related Components 1932–1979 Classic Ford Cars & Trucks
King pins serve as the primary pivot point in early Ford straight-axle front suspensions, supporting steering movement while maintaining proper steering geometry and wheel alignment. This category includes ford reproduction king pins, king pin kits, bushings, bearings, and related components used across 1932–1979 classic Ford passenger cars and pickup trucks equipped with solid front axles.
Within the suspension system, the king pin connects the spindle to the axle and works in coordination with radius rods, spindles, and bushings. Wear in these areas can lead to steering looseness, uneven tire wear, or alignment drift. Fitment varies by model year, axle design, and spindle configuration, and differences in brake diameter or prior suspension modifications can affect compatibility. When restoring factory ride height or correcting front-end play, proper king pin fit is critical to both handling stability and braking balance. Components such as classic Ford radius rod bushings often interact with the same system and should be evaluated during inspection.
Since 1978, C&G Ford Parts has remained a second-generation, family-run business focused exclusively on classic Ford restoration parts. Experienced staff are available to help confirm correct fitment when details matter.
