Shop now for King Pin Parts to fit 1966-1971 Ford F-100 Trucks with Dana 44 Open Knuckle Front Axles.
1967-1971 Ford F100 Dana 44 Front Axles use an unusual open knuckle design the uses King Pins and Knuckle Bearings like a closed knuckle axle instead of Ball Joints. Once installed, there is no way to lubricate the Knuckle Bearings without disassembly so it is imperative that you pack your new Bearings with a high quality grease such as QU90018 Pyroplex Plus® before installation. Knuckle Bearing preload is set using a combination of shims located between the King Pin Caps and Steering Knuckles. On 1968-1971 axles, compressible dampeners positioned between the inner Cup Plug and King Pin Stem are used to control "Death Wobble" (These dampeners also affect the Knuckle turning preload).
