Talk:Kingpin (automotive part)

King pin on semi-trailer truck

This should probably be rectified with the "king pin" definition for semi-trailer trucks, and the redirect for fifth wheel. FWIW, I have yet to determine exactly if that meaning uses two words or one. ENeville 16:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ford and the kingpin

This source says it's very unlikely the fact ever happened--82.76.37.57 12:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it's not a metaphor, it's a simile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.247.254.6 (talk) 04:35, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rename page?

I'm trying to find consensus for renaming "(mechanics)" pages, where "mechanics" refers to machinery, mechanisms, mechanical devices or mechanical engineering, rather than (e.g. classical) mechanics in physics and applied math. I would like to rename this page to "Kingpin (mechanism)" or "Kingpin (mechanical device)". Any preferences or objections? Geometry guy 20:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since this article relates to vehicles other than automobiles, should it be renamed to Kingpin (vehicle part)? GoingBatty (talk) 18:13, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Caster

How does king pin angle relate to caster angle? They look the same to me. Stepho talk 23:07, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
