For one THEY DON"T HAVE king pins
They have swivel hub bearings and you should be able to get a complete kit from a 4x4 parts place for $140 aus
Don't get them from a nissan dealer BIG $$$$

Its not a big pin its the mounting point for your swivell hub bearings one on the top and one on the bottom.
King pins are on mostly older trucks and busses with the beam front ends the pin runs top to bottom with bushes not bearings.
