Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T600 Steer Axle Springs & Hangers

What years and models of Kenworth T600 do these steer axle springs fit?

Our steer axle springs and hangers are designed to fit Kenworth T600 models from 1989 through 2007. However, compatibility can vary based on your truck's specific configuration, including whether you have a set-forward or set-back front axle. We recommend checking your VIN or calling our technical support team at 1-888-875-7787 with your truck's serial number to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

Are these springs OEM quality or aftermarket, and what's the weight capacity?

We carry both genuine OEM Kenworth parts and high-quality aftermarket alternatives from trusted manufacturers like Dayton Parts and Triangle Suspension. Most standard steer axle springs for the T600 are rated between 12,000 to 14,600 pounds per axle, depending on your specific application. Heavy-duty options rated up to 20,000 pounds are available for severe-duty applications. Each product listing includes the exact weight rating and specifications.

Can I replace just one spring, or do I need to replace both sides?

While it's technically possible to replace a single spring, we strongly recommend replacing springs in pairs to maintain proper ride height and prevent uneven tire wear. Mismatched springs can cause alignment issues, premature bushing wear, and create handling problems. If budget is a concern, consider our value-priced aftermarket sets that cost less than replacing with OEM parts individually.

What other parts should I replace when changing steer axle springs?

When replacing steer axle springs, inspect and consider replacing the spring pins, bushings, shackles, and U-bolts. These components typically wear at similar rates and reusing worn hardware can lead to premature spring failure. We offer complete rebuild kits that include all necessary hardware, which can save time and ensure all wear items are addressed during the repair.

How difficult is the installation, and what special tools are required?

Installing steer axle springs requires moderate mechanical experience and proper safety equipment. You'll need heavy-duty jack stands rated for commercial trucks, a spring compressor for some applications, and standard hand tools including large sockets up to 1-1/2 inches. The job typically takes 3-4 hours per side for experienced technicians. Many customers choose professional installation due to safety concerns when working with heavy spring tension. Always follow proper safety procedures and never work under a truck supported only by jacks.
