Restore the tight, responsive steering your early Volkswagen had when it left the showroom floor with this Complete Link and King Pin Rebuild Kit. Over time, the pivot points in the early "Link Pin" front ends wear down, leading to excessive steering play, uneven tire wear, and the dreaded "front-end shimmy."
This comprehensive kit includes all the precision-machined components necessary to overhaul both the driver and passenger sides of your front suspension. By replacing worn king pins and link pins, you eliminate mechanical "slop," allowing for a precise alignment and a much safer, more predictable driving experience.
Key Features
-
Complete Car Set: One kit contains all the pins, bushings, shims, and seals required to rebuild both the left and right sides of the front axle beam.
-
Precision Machined: Engineered to tight tolerances to ensure smooth articulation and long-term durability under load.
-
Restores Steering Integrity: Eliminates the vertical and horizontal "play" common in aged early VW front ends.
-
High-Quality Components: Features hardened steel pins and high-grade bushings designed to withstand the rigors of both daily driving and vintage rallies.
Vehicle Fitment
This kit is designed for early air-cooled Volkswagens with the Link-Pin (King Pin) front axle beam.
| Make | Model | Years | Notes |
| Volkswagen | Type 1 Beetle | 1946–1965 | Link-Pin Models Only |
| Volkswagen | Karmann Ghia | 1956–1965 | Link-Pin Models Only |
| Custom | Dune Buggy / Manx | All | Link-Pin Chassis Builds |
Tech Tip: Rebuilding a link-pin front end is a specialized task that requires a heavy-duty shop press and specific reamers to properly fit the bushings to the pins. If you don't have access to these tools, we recommend having the spindles and carriers serviced by a professional machine shop using this high-quality kit.
