8X Stainless Steel Kingpin Bushing 2.5mm by Briny River – 8 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The 8X stainless steel kingpin bushing is a precision‑engineered component designed to meet the rigorous demands of high‑performance off‑road vehicles. Manufactured by Briny River, a reputable name in power transmission accessories, this bushing combines a compact 2.5 mm overall length with a 1.4 mm inner diameter and a 2.3 mm outer diameter. The dimensions are carefully selected to fit directly into the brass steering knuckle of the SCX24 front axle, eliminating any excess clearance that can cause play or delayed response.

Constructed from premium grade stainless steel, the bushing offers exceptional corrosion resistance and wear durability, ensuring that the steering system remains stable even after prolonged exposure to mud, water, and abrasive particles. The material choice also contributes to a smooth rotational interface, reducing friction and enhancing the tactile feel of the steering wheel. Each package contains eight individual bushings, providing enough units to upgrade both sides of the front axle and maintain symmetry in steering performance.

Beyond the core mechanical benefits, the bushing’s design incorporates a polished surface finish that minimizes the need for additional lubrication, simplifying installation and maintenance. The product’s package dimensions of 3.15 × 2.36 × 0.12 inches and lightweight 0.35 oz per unit make it easy to store and handle during the upgrade process.

Usage

This kingpin bushing is ideally suited for off‑road racing, trail riding, and any application where precise steering feedback is critical. It excels in environments where the steering system is subjected to high torque loads, rapid directional changes, and exposure to harsh elements such as dust, water, and salt. By replacing the OEM bushing with the 8X stainless steel version, riders can expect a noticeable improvement in steering accuracy, reduced deadband, and a more direct connection between the handlebars and the front wheels.

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic mechanical tools. The bushing slides into the existing brass knuckle without the need for machining or additional hardware. Because the dimensions are matched to the OEM specifications, no modifications to the axle or surrounding components are required. This makes the product an excellent upgrade for both seasoned racers looking to fine‑tune their setup and hobbyists seeking a reliable, performance‑oriented replacement.

For optimal results, it is recommended to clean the knuckle bore thoroughly before insertion, apply a thin layer of high‑temperature grease if desired, and verify that the bushing sits flush without any tilt. After installation, a short test ride is advisable to confirm that the steering feels centered and responsive. The bushing’s durability also means it can handle repeated disassembly and re‑assembly, which is useful for teams that frequently service their vehicles between events.
