necessitate replacement of axle center.
1. If kingpin holes in axle center ends are worn to such
an extent that a new standard or oversize kingpin fits
loosely, axle center must be replaced.
2. If axle center has been twisted or bent more than 5
degrees from original shape, center should be re­
placed. As a general rule, when an extreme bent
condition exists, minute fractures which may be in­
visible will occur, and failure under ordinary operat­
ing conditions will result. Check axle center for
twist with alignment instruments. If equipment is
available, use Magna-Flux method to check axle cen­
ter for minute fractures. Axle centers should always
be straightened cold. Under no circumstances should
heat be applied.
