king pin...ball joint, so to answer your question...YES
...KING PIN IS THE SPINDLE SHAFT THAT THE ROTOR GOES ON...
BUT IN FORDS(''I'' BEAM) IT WOULD BE LIKE THE BALL JOINT..
WE STILL USE A BALL JOINT, UNLESS LIKE MY DANCER WE USE A 7/8 HEIM JOINT(SPHERICAL ROD END)MADE OF CHROME-MOLY[/b][/quote]
uuhmm, I don't know why yor calling that a kingpin, becasue I have never heard of it called that, its the spindle, its not a kingpin. For instance your right in fords with the I beams. Ever hear of KAI, Kingpin axis inclination. It is the same as SAI, steering axis inclination. I kingpin sets the upper and lower pivot points for the steering axis, same as balljoints.
