Suzuki Jimny 1998-2018 Kingpin Rebuild Refurbishment Repair Kit X8R Death Wobble Vibrating MOT Fail

Link to purchase item: x8r.co.uk/suzuki/kingpin-repa...
The problem:
The first generation Suzuki Jimny have a 4 wheel drive suspension set-up using kingpins and a swivel joint system, although a fairly good set-up they are prone to oil leaks and the kingpins and bearings fail when excessively used off-road. Not only are these faults MOT failures, they are also dangerous if driven when the faults become excessive- known as the “death wobble”.
Symptoms of the fault:
Steering “shimmy” AKA “death wobble” the steering wheel shaking usually around 35-45mph (60-80mk/h), can be anything from a slight shake to a violent steering wheel shake. Oil/grease leaking from the swivel joints. Vertical play in front wheels when hovering above ground.
Vehicles affected:
Suzuki Jimny 1998-2018 (JB23/JB33/JB43/JB53)
Associated part numbers
Kingpins - 45610-63002
Bearings - 09265-15006
Swivel seal - 45120-81A04
Oil seal - 09283-26016
Our solution:
We have made a kit that comprises of all the components you need to refurbish one side of your front axel (for both sides, purchase two kits). These kits are few & far between, with some kits comprising of unnecessary parts.
The X8R kit contains unique items such as the bungs to pop over the vacuum lines to prevent any dust or corrosion from entering the system, in addition to the most highly recommended high-temperature and highly resistant CV grease from Maxima Racing Oils. This grease combined with the brand new seals limits the possibility of water ingress into the bearings and swivel hub.
You will receive:
1 x Swivel Seal
2 x Kingpin Bearings
2 x Kingpins
1 x Driveshaft oil seal
1 x 454g Maxima Waterproof Grease
1 x circlip for the driveshaft
2 x M8 disc locating bolts
8 x bolts for the kingpins
8 x swivel seal bolts

I'm not getting why have you grased the outside of the knuckle, it is not touching anywhere. The knuckle itself should have been disassembled and the grease should have been applied into it.

Tengo una duda: Estos vehiculos tienen king ping en ambas ruedas delanteras? o solo el lado derecho?

[@quetanfacil5704]

cuando un vehículo empieza a mostrar suciedad en esa parte fuera de una buena limpieza también se debe cambiar el retenedor interior del eje, porque ese es el que está botando aceite, y según el manual de taller no hay que hacer todo ese desarme para cambiar únicamente la empaquetadura exterior ...

Hola, tengo los dos retenes de delante que me pierden. Puedes decirme cómo cambiarlos sin hacer todo lo del vídeo? Gracias

[@quetanfacil5704]

amigo si la fuga o la suciedad que presenta es aceite, definitivamente tienes que hacer todo ese desarme y cambiar los retenes de los ejes interiores, pero cuando es solo suciedad por mala Limpieza de los guardapolvos exteriores, en el manual muestra que el caucho principal se corta y al colocarlo ese corte se coloca hacia arriba como esta el corte de las láminas laterales. @@nenesex1

Hello there. I have 1998 Jimny Sierra ELK. would the Kingpin and bearing kit work for me ???

[@gumballuk5761]

I hope your vacuum line still works after filling the swivel joint with grease 😬😂

[@cryoine7194]

wouldnt it be easier to fit the swivel seals before installing the bearing races?

Bonjour ou acheter le kit merci du renseignement

[@glennwozencroft4299]

Ordered two kits of eBay , went to do the job its a shame the king pins do not fit the bearings, put them in with a rubber mallet you would have put these in with a sledge hammer .
