Everything about Kingpin Automotive Part totally explained
» For other uses of the term "kingpin", see kingpin (disambiguation).
The
kingpin is the main
pivot in the steering mechanism of a
car or other
vehicle. Originally this was literally a steel pin on which the moveable, steerable
wheel was mounted to the
suspension. In newer designs, it may not be an actual pin but the
axis around which the steered wheels pivot. It is usually made of
metal.
There is an urban legend that
Henry Ford once commissioned a survey of all scrap yards in America to see what parts on his Model T were holding up best against wear. When the results came back, it was determined that the part which rarely or never broke was the kingpin. He reduced the quality of this to meet all other parts, and thus he conserved money for the company.
