What style is the better one to go with? The screw type with greaseable pins or the non greaseable? I believe the greaseable work better cause you can always maintain it but the non greaseable has the rubber bushing in it so I’d think that would work as good. What’s your take?
Back in the mid 2000's is roughly about when KW started putting the non-greasable rubber bushings on the steer axle. Shop I worked at converted a bunch of newer trucks back to the threaded, greaseable pins. Rubber bushings are probably fine on a highway truck but they didn't make it very long in the bush.
Surprised Horton doesn’t show what makes them so good. The roller bearings are long needle bearings running the whole length of the pins. I had them installed on my 92 WS in around 1997, with new hanger brackets, old ones were eggholed. Didn’t bother changing the front bushings, they barely move, usually don’t wear. I recall the warranty being an odd number. 487k maybe. Something like that. Lol
Used to run the Horton rollers in all the older Pete's. As soon as I picked up the trucks they were installed before going out.
uh, greaseable pins require greasing before they clog up so if you dont have the time to do it they wont last.
