5.2 검사

Periodically inspect the king pin assembly for signs of wear, looseness, or damage. This includes checking for:

• Excessive play in the steering knuckle.
• Cracks or damage to the axle beam or steering knuckle.
• Leaking grease fittings or seals.
• Unusual noises during steering or driving.

Any signs of significant wear or damage should be addressed immediately by a qualified technician.

6. 일반적인 문제 해결

While the king pin kit itself is a passive component, issues related to its wear or improper installation can manifest as various vehicle problems. If you experience any of the following, consult a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair:

• Excessive Play in Steering: A loose or worn king pin can cause noticeable play in the steering wheel, making the vehicle feel unresponsive or difficult to control.
• 타이어 마모가 고르지 않음: Worn king pins can lead to improper wheel alignment and camber issues, resulting in uneven and premature tire wear.
• Steering Wander or Shimmy: The vehicle may tend to wander on the road or experience a shimmying sensation in the front end, especially at certain speeds.
• 조향에 어려움: While less common for worn king pins (more common for lack of lubrication), stiff steering can indicate issues.
