Rebuild, service, or upgrade your Dana 60 kingpin steering knuckles with lower kingpin bearings, upper bushings, seals, caps, spring eliminator kits, and complete kingpin component kits. Crane Axle offers both genuine Spicer replacement components and engineered Crane Axle solutions for GM and Ford Dana 60 front axles.
The Dana 60 kingpin assembly supports the steering knuckle while controlling preload and maintaining smooth, stable steering movement. Worn bearings, bushings, springs, or seals can contribute to steering play and inconsistent knuckle preload. Whether you're performing a factory-style rebuild or upgrading to a kingpin spring eliminator, servicing the complete assembly helps maintain steering precision and front axle reliability.
| Component | Function | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Upper Kingpin Bushing | Supports the upper kingpin and guides knuckle movement | Helps maintain proper steering movement and knuckle support |
| Kingpin Spring / Eliminator | Maintains upper kingpin preload | Controls preload and helps reduce unwanted steering movement |
| Lower Kingpin Bearing | Supports the lower portion of the steering knuckle | Carries load while allowing the knuckle to rotate |
| Lower Kingpin Seal | Seals around the lower kingpin assembly | Helps retain lubricant and keep contamination away from the bearing |
| Kingpin Cap | Retains and protects kingpin components | Keeps the upper assembly properly contained |
| Grease Retainer / Dust Cap | Helps contain grease and exclude debris | Protects components from contamination |
| Kingpin Cone | Interfaces with the upper kingpin assembly | Part of the preload and support system |
| Complete Rebuild Kit | Replaces multiple wear components together | Best for servicing an unknown or heavily worn kingpin axle |
