Front suspension interchange info

Looking at this chart, it appears that the kingpin size is related to the capacity of the axle, and that many C40/50/60/70's will intechange. This should help when you go looking for updated parts.

Any idea how to tell the axle capacity if the SPID is missing?

Re: Front suspension interchange info

Measure the kingpin!
Also, look at the weight rating plate for axle GAWF rating.
