This is a front axle swivel housing, also known as a kingpin housing, which is a critical structural component of the steering and suspension system. It houses the kingpin and bearings, allowing the front wheels to pivot for steering and supporting the weight of the axle. Failure can manifest as steering looseness, uneven tire wear, or noise during turns.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Initial signs of a worn swivel housing may include a feeling of looseness in the steering or a clunking noise when turning. If the wear progresses, steering control can become significantly compromised, and uneven tire wear will become apparent. A severely damaged housing can lead to loss of steering control, posing a significant operational risk.
Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of the axle beam and steering knuckle before installation. Ensure the kingpin and bearings are properly lubricated before assembly.
Always replace the kingpin, bearings, and seals when installing a new swivel housing.
