King Pin Bearing

The Automann 460.T182S king pin thrust bearing is a vital component in steering knuckle assemblies, designed to absorb axial forces while enabling rotational movement. Its dimensions are exactly 1.822″ inner diameter, 3.3455″ outer diameter, and 0.990″ width. The bearing fits between the king pin and housing, controlling endplay while allowing the vertical pivoting motion of the knuckle. Over time, wear or corrosion can degrade the bearing, leading to steering looseness or binding. The 460.T182S is engineered to restore precision, reduce friction, and preserve alignment. It is commonly included in king pin kit assemblies (for example in Automann’s 460.286 series) as the thrust bearing component. For truck maintenance or knuckle rebuilds, using a genuine 460.T182S ensures proper fitment and longevity under heavy load conditions.
