By replacing the OEM spring assembly with heavy durometer bushings and new replacement cone bushings, this kit improves steering stability, reduces unwanted movement within the knuckle assembly, and increases long-term durability under heavy steering load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory kingpin springs are commonly known to weaken over time in lifted trucks and off-road vehicles running oversized tires, beadlocks, hydraulic assist steering, and high steer systems. As preload consistency deteriorates, steering slop, vibration, and death wobble can develop. The Crane Axle Premium system addresses these issues by combining rigid preload bushings with replacement cone bushings to restore tighter steering feel and more controlled kingpin preload.\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 preload system relies on a spring assembly that can weaken and compress under repeated steering load, especially on vehicles running oversized tires and aggressive off-road setups. Once preload consistency is lost, steering instability and unwanted knuckle movement become increasingly common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crane Axle Premium Spring Eliminator replaces the spring preload system with heavy durometer bushings designed to maintain more consistent pressure within the kingpin assembly. The addition of replacement cone bushings helps restore proper fitment in worn knuckle assemblies and improves long-term steering consistency. Combined with preload shims, the system allows builders to fine-tune steering resistance and maintain tighter kingpin control in both street and off-road environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e","brand":"Crane Axle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56095458787494,"sku":"CASE60P","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/8394\/6406\/files\/Case60P-Crane-Kingpin-Spring-Eliminator-Kit-Bearings-1.jpg?v=1777392149","url":"https:\/\/wideopendesign.com\/products\/dana-60-kingpin-spring-eliminator-kit-premium","provider":"Wide Open Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
