Link Pin Repair Sets. If you can pick your front end up and move your wheel around then it is time to replace the king pins and link pins. We suggest doing them both at the same time. This set will do both sides. These are the horitontal pins that hold the spindle to the steering knuckle. You use the shims to set the camber of the wheel by stacking them up behind the spindle. Most times the bushing will need to be reamed to get a good fit as well as being pressed in
