Suzuki Jimny Timken Kingpin Bearing - No 7.1

Timken Front Axle Kingpin Bearing – Suzuki Jimny

Premium aftermarket Timken kingpin bearing for the Suzuki Jimny front axle. The kingpin bearings support the swivel housing (knuckle) and are a key part of the steering system. Worn bearings are the most common cause of the Jimny’s well-known steering vibration (“death wobble”).

Timken is a world-renowned bearing manufacturer, trusted for strength, reliability, and long service life. This replacement bearing is manufactured to OE dimensions, ensuring a direct fit and excellent durability both on and off road.
