Again, I've been hunting for this term to no avail.
No context. It's on a list of parts.
Thanks in advance!

drive pin / coupling pin / king pin
Can't be certain without context; the two contexts where the phrase is used are metal machining and tractor-trailer couplings.
In the former, it refers to the pin that drives the workpiece in a lathe when it is turned between centers. It is attached to the driveplate and drives the lathe dog clamped onto the workpiece: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lathe_dog
it is also used (in Spanish) to refer to the "king pin" part of the tractor-trailer coupling. But that has little to do with "suspension system".
The only other connections I can think of is that the axles supporting the sattellite gears in a car differential are called kingpins: http://www.tpub.com/content/automotiveenginemechanics/TM-9-8...
(but I don't know what they are called in Spanish)
