Destroyed King Pin Bearing

Post by Hales231271 »

Hit a wash out a little to hard.
I felt it I can tell you.
It destroyed the lower RHS king pin bearing in the knucle.
The diff housing is a Bundera and laminated.
Everything was brand new!
I have never heard of this happening before and are scratching my head as to why?

Has anyone come across this before??

Cheers
Dazza

i hit a washout that hard that i broke the front springs and ripped out a rod end but swivel bearings were fine. id say it'd be more of an installation problem.

Dazza I feel your pain too,
I hit a wash out at speed recently and bent the right ball on the diff on landing and smashed the left top king pin bearing to bits as well the left wheel bearings were damged too and everything was only 15months old
All fixed with new bearings through out and a lot of lovin' from the oxy too.
