Front Swivel Pin Kit is a complete overhaul kit for the front axle swivel housings, the steering pivot assembly that allows the front hubs to turn while the axle transmits drive.

The swivel pins carry the hub on its upper and lower pivots; the Railko bush and bottom swivel bearing support that movement while the seals retain the swivel lubricant. Renewing these components together restores steering precision and removes play in a worn swivel.

The kit rebuilds both sides and includes the swivel pins and brackets, Railko bushes, thrust washers, bottom swivel bearings, tab and lock washers, shims, seals and gaskets.
