Product Description
King Pin Kit 0750111462 0750-111-462 for ZF Truck Front Axle
Premium King Pin Kit OEM 0750111462 (0750-111-462) for ZF Commercial Truck Front Axle Steering Knuckle — Includes Bearings, Seals & Hardware
The King Pin Kit with OEM number 0750111462 (0750-111-462) is a verified direct-fit steering repair set designed for ZF commercial truck front axle assemblies. This king pin kit serves as the critical pivot point connecting the steering knuckle to the axle beam, enabling precise and controlled steering movement across the full range of vehicle operation.
The king pin functions as the central pivot of the steering system. When the steering wheel is turned, the king pin allows the steering knuckle — and therefore the wheel — to rotate smoothly around a vertical axis. A worn or damaged king pin directly compromises steering precision, tire wear patterns, and overall vehicle safety.

Verified Performance Signals
- Dimensional Accuracy: Each king pin is manufactured to OEM tolerances with hardness, surface roughness, and dimensional accuracy verified under the Diesel Technic Quality System (DTQS) protocol.
- Material Hardness: Forged from high-grade alloy steel (typically 40Cr or equivalent), with hardness tested to ensure resistance against shear and fatigue loads.
- Durability: Comparable kits in this class are rated for up to 100,000 miles (160,000 km) under normal operating conditions with proper lubrication.
- Installation Success Rate: Direct bolt-on fitment verified across fleet maintenance programs — no reaming required for pre-sized variants.
- OEM Cross-Reference Verified: Replaces ZF OEM number 0750111462 / 0750-111-462.
Failure Symptoms — When to Replace
Worn king pins manifest through several recognizable symptoms. Replacing at the first sign prevents costly structural damage to the steering knuckle and axle beam:
- Uneven or premature front tire wear — often appearing as one-sided, feathered, or diagonal wear patterns due to inconsistent camber angle.
- Steering wander or shimmy — the vehicle pulls or drifts, especially after hitting a bump.
- Clunking, popping, or grinding noises — audible from the front axle area when turning or driving over uneven surfaces.
- Excessive steering play — more than 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) of vertical play at the wheel indicates significant wear.
- Rough or vague steering feel — delayed return-to-center, vibration through the steering wheel, or a shaking cab at speed.
Vehicle & Engine Compatibility
Important: King pin kit compatibility varies by axle model and vehicle configuration. Always verify by VIN or axle plate number before ordering.
| Brand | Application | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ZF | Commercial Truck Front Axle | Confirm axle model code |
| DAF | LF / CF / XF Series (specific years) | Match by axle code, not model year alone |
| MAN | TGL / TGM / TGX (specific axle variants) | Left/right hand drive configurations may differ |
Please provide your VIN, axle plate number, or chassis number to confirm exact fitment. ZF axle systems are used across multiple truck brands, and the same OEM number may apply to different axle configurations.
Features & Benefits

| Seal Integrity | Visual and dimensional inspection for proper fit and sealing surface |
| Kit Completeness | 100% component count verification before packaging |
Installation & Maintenance Recommendations
IMPORTANT: King pin replacement is a safety-critical repair. Professional installation with correct tooling is strongly recommended. A hammer should never be used — it can deform the king pin or damage surrounding components.
Installation Guidelines (Reference Workshop Manual)
- Lift and secure the vehicle on a level surface. Remove wheels, brake calipers, tie rod ends, and drag link as required.
- Remove the old king pin using a hydraulic press or specialized king pin removal tool. Do not use impact force.
- Clean and inspect the axle beam bore and steering knuckle bore for wear, scoring, or deformation.
- Install new bushings using proper driver tools. For pre-sized/no-ream kits, verify bore clearance with a bore gauge.
- Insert the new king pin — ensure it is centered and seated flat. For threaded variants, apply the specified torque.
- Torque specification: Consult the ZF axle workshop manual for the exact torque value. For comparable ZF/DAF king pin applications, the mounting bolts are typically tightened to 190 Nm. The lower seal carrier grease fitting torque is 15 Nm.
- Check vertical play: After installation, verify axial play is below 1.3 mm per ZF RS 85/11 specification.
Maintenance Schedule
- Lubrication: Grease king pins at every chassis lubrication interval (typically 10,000–15,000 km) using the provided grease nipples.
- Inspection: Check for vertical play and steering looseness at every major service. Replace if play exceeds 1.3 mm.
- Full replacement interval: Under normal conditions with proper maintenance, king pin kits are rated for up to 160,000 km. Severe duty or poor lubrication requires earlier replacement.
Packaging & Supply
- Each king pin individually wrapped with honeycomb protective fabric, then packed in a heavy-duty cardboard box with foam padding.
- Suitable for: Fleet maintenance departments, truck repair workshops, parts distributors, and wholesale buyers.
- Available for bulk orders with custom labeling and packing options.
