Genuine GMC P3500 King Pin

The GMC P3500 King Pin provides the pivot point that allows the steering to feel assured and balanced in every move while supporting the heavy load of the van. The King Pin is built around a hardened steel rod which allows the swing of each of the front wheels to take place smoothly. Furthermore, it absorbs shocks as the vehicle bumps along. This adds to the precision and comfort of the driver. It bolts into the solid axle of major GMC work vans made from 1979 to 1999, so fleets running early carbureted P3500 step vans or later fuel-injected P3500 haulers count on the same hinge. The mechanism sets the angle of the steering axis which nudges the wheels back to the center position. This relieves the driver of constant stress and makes the vehicle a lot safer. The Ackermann geometry associated with the King Pin configuration reduces the scrub of the tire, which ensures a lower operating temperature and greater replacement intervals. Although some trim levels experimented with independent suspension configurations, a sizeable segment of buyers opted for the conventional King Pin. This was due to the fact that no ball joint could compare to its load and half-million-mile service record. The incorporation of grease fittings and extensive bearing surface enables this unit to withstand the impact of grit while maintaining tight clearances to prevent shimmy. Available in matched pairs, the product restores the factory steering feel on any GMC chassis length, including a short parcel van or long wheelbase P3500 chassis-cab. With their speedy installation and low downtime, the King Pin is a prominent steering part in a crowded parts market. The GMC postal rig owners praise the King Pin for its predictable feel during tight city loops. The GMC mobile workshop operator says a new King Pin cuts stopping distance. GMC delivery crews say that replacing a worn King Pin on a 1997 P3500 or a 1999 P3500 brings back new-truck confidence.
