Your Kenworth T600 was built for the long haul — and your steering system should be too. If your front end feels loose, your wheel vibrates, or your truck starts wandering in the lane, it's time to replace those worn-out steering components. This lineup of heavy-duty steering parts is made to handle long miles, heavy loads, and tough road conditions without letting you down.
Find Essential Steering Components for the Kenworth T600
Power Steering Pump — The driving force behind smooth steering. It delivers high-pressure hydraulic fluid so you can steer easily, even when hauling heavy.
Drag Link — The link between your steering gear and the front wheel assembly. A worn drag link causes steering play and poor control — replacing it tightens up handling immediately.
Cross Tube (Tie Rod Assembly) — The bar that keeps both front wheels aligned and turning together. It maintains straight tracking and reduces tire wear.
Tie Rod Ends — The flexible joints that connect the linkage to your wheels. Worn tie rod ends lead to sloppy steering and uneven response, especially on rough highways.
King Pin Kits — The main pivots for your front wheels. Fresh king pins restore precise steering and eliminate front-end wobble under load.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T600 Steering Parts & Acc.
What steering components are typically included in this category?
This category covers steering system parts and accessories for the Kenworth T600, including items such as steering wheels, steering columns, steering shafts, u-joints, hydraulic steering hoses, power steering pumps, pitman arms, drag links, and related mounting hardware and covers. Always check the specific product listing to confirm exactly what is included.
How do I know a steering part will fit my specific T600?
Fit can vary by model year, cab configuration, and steering column or gear setup, so it is important to check the listing for year range and OEM part number cross-references before ordering. If you are unsure whether a part matches your truck, our team can help you verify compatibility using your VIN or existing part numbers.
Can I install these steering parts myself, or should I use a professional?
Basic accessories like steering wheel covers or knobs are generally easy to install without special tools. However, components that are part of the actual steering linkage or hydraulic system, such as steering shafts, pumps, or pitman arms, affect vehicle safety and handling and should be installed and inspected by a qualified diesel technician familiar with heavy-duty steering systems.
What materials and finishes are available for steering components?
Depending on the part, you will find options in chrome, stainless steel, powder-coated steel, and durable plastics or rubber for grips and covers. Chrome and stainless finishes are popular for a polished appearance, while powder-coated or raw steel options are common for functional components that prioritize durability over looks.
Are these steering parts DOT compliant and safe for use on the road?
Structural and functional steering components sold in this category are intended to meet standard fitment and performance expectations for their application, but any modification to your steering system should be done with attention to FMCSA and DOT safety regulations. If a part affects steering function or alignment, we recommend having it inspected as part of your routine DOT inspection to confirm it meets current safety standards.
