Suspension systems utilising King Pins generally follow two layouts. The most common layout, as used in independent suspension systems, the King Pin is attached to the upper and lower wishbones by horizontal bushes. The sub axle carrier with bushings top and bottom then pivots on the King Pin. The other King Pin layout differs from this in that the King Pin is held at the end of an axle beam and does not have wishbones. This method is generally employed by commercial vehicle designs.
The Roadsafe King Pin Kit range features over 150 catalogued numbers for both light and heavy truck applications. The Roadsafe range of King Pin Kits incorporates many refinements such as triple key ways and hard chrome finish giving lower inventory costs and longer wear characteristics.
