By replacing the OEM spring assembly with heavy durometer preload bushings, this system improves steering stability, reduces unwanted knuckle movement, and increases durability under high steering loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory kingpin springs are a common wear and failure point in lifted trucks, rock crawlers, and heavy-duty off-road vehicles running larger tires and high steer systems. Under repeated steering load and suspension articulation, the factory spring can compress and lose preload consistency, leading to steering looseness, vibration, and death wobble. The Crane Axle Spring Eliminator provides a more controlled preload system designed for improved steering precision in both street-driven and off-road applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Heavy Durometer

factory Dana 60 kingpin spring system uses spring pressure to maintain preload within the steering knuckle assembly. As steering load increases from larger tires, beadlocks, hydraulic assist steering, and off-road use, the factory spring can compress and lose effectiveness over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crane Axle Spring Eliminator replaces the spring preload system with heavy durometer bushings that provide more consistent preload and reduce unwanted movement within the kingpin assembly. This helps improve steering stability, reduce steering wander and vibration, and minimize conditions that contribute to death wobble in high-load steering applications. Preload can be fine-tuned using the included shims to achieve the desired steering resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e","brand":"Crane Axle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56095458590886,"sku":"CASE60","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/8394\/6406\/files\/Case60-Crane-Kingpin-Spring-Eliminator-Kit-1.jpg?v=1776891753","url":"https:\/\/wideopendesign.com\/products\/crane-axle-dana-60-kingpin-spring-eliminator-kit","provider":"Wide Open Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
