Protection Caps with Fitting Position Front Axle, Rear Axle

Protection caps are the purpose-engineered caps fitted over the greaseable front eye pin of the rear leaf spring assembly on applicable platforms. On certain 4WD dual cab ute platforms where the greaseable front eye pin installation positions the pin close to the fuel tank, the exposed pin end presents a risk of fuel tank contact damage under sustained off-road use, towing loads or suspension compression events. The protection cap fits directly over the installed greaseable front eye pin, creating a physical buffer between the pin and the fuel tank and eliminating the risk of fuel tank side impact damage from the pin under all operating conditions.

A simple, low-cost addition to any greaseable front eye pin installation on applicable platforms that protects both the pin grease point and the adjacent fuel tank from contact damage. Sold individually.

Why Upgrade Suspension?

On applicable platforms where the greaseable front eye pin installation places the pin in proximity to the fuel tank, the protection cap is the final and essential step in a complete front eye pin service. Installing a greaseable pin without the protection cap leaves the pin end exposed to potential fuel tank contact, which over time and under repeated suspension compression can cause wear or damage to both the tank and the pin grease point. The cap eliminates this risk entirely, protecting the investment made in the pin and bush installation and ensuring the fuel tank remains undamaged throughout the vehicle's service life.

For workshops completing greaseable front eye pin installations on applicable platforms, including the protection cap as a standard part of the service is the correct and most thorough approach to a complete front eye pin fitment.

Protection Cap Range

The protection cap range includes:

• Rear Leaf Spring Front Eye Greaseable Pin Protection Caps: A purpose-engineered cap that fits over the greaseable front eye pin of the rear leaf spring assembly on applicable platforms, providing fuel tank side impact protection and shielding the installed pin and grease point from contact damage.

Why Purchase Protection Caps?

Including a protection cap with every greaseable front eye pin installation on an applicable platform ensures the completed fitment is fully protected against fuel tank contact damage. The cap is a low-cost item that delivers meaningful protection to the fuel tank and pin grease point, and is the correct complementary part for any greaseable front eye pin service on a platform where pin-to-tank proximity is a design consideration.

For workshops, adding the protection cap to the service quote alongside the pin and bush kit is a straightforward step that completes the installation correctly and protects the customer's fuel tank from a known contact risk.

Compatible Vehicles

Protection caps are compatible with:

• 4WD dual cab utes and ute platforms fitted with a greaseable front leaf spring eye pin where proximity to the fuel tank requires a protection cap to prevent fuel tank side impact damage.

Installation and Support

The protection cap installs directly over the greaseable front eye pin as part of the front eye pin installation. For additional technical assistance, a dedicated support team is available to confirm correct fitment for the specific platform and pin configuration.

Repair and Upgrade

The protection cap is engineered to shield the greaseable front eye pin and the adjacent fuel tank from contact damage under sustained off-road use, towing loads and repeated suspension compression. A durable, purpose-fitted solution that completes the greaseable front eye pin installation and protects both the fuel tank and the pin grease point throughout the service life of the installed hardware.

Who Protection Caps Are For

Protection caps are a practical solution for:

• Professional workshops completing greaseable front eye pin installations on applicable 4WD dual cab ute platforms requiring a protection cap to shield the installed pin from fuel tank side impact damage as part of a thorough and correctly completed leaf spring front eye service.
• 4WD owners and experienced DIY users who have installed or are installing a greaseable front eye pin on an applicable platform and require the protection cap to complete the installation correctly and protect the fuel tank from pin contact damage.

The right protection cap completes the greaseable front eye pin installation, protects the fuel tank from contact damage and ensures the front eye pin service is finished to the correct standard every time.
