    Hello everyone, I am ready to replace kingpin on my Peterbilt 2005 model 378. Do you know which kingpin is the best that last long for a heavy duty work truck, bronze or nylon kingpin ?

    better recheck your knowledge of trucks :) king pins ( different than on a trailer ) ALSO play an IMPORTANT part in the front end of vehicles

    iv only ever installed bronze kingpin bushing but man them kingpin bushing that blanco posted look slick. a lot easier than pressing and reaming a bronze bushing. i also like the grease groves in the kingpin.
