I need to replace my kingpins and I found a kit for sale by the folks who host this forum for $22.50. It comes with bushings, bearings & seals for both sides. My question is whether any of you have ordered them and whether the quality is any good? Hopefully the bushing is brass and not the cheap steel ones. The parts listing does not specify. Before I order the parts I would like to know if any of you guys have done so and your opinions.

Thanks.

All the spindle bushings I have seen are steel and I used to sell Ford parts years ago. They were all steel then. The spindle bushing are not made to fit. They must be honed or reamed to fit the wear of the spindle.

There are several ways to remove the old bushing. there is a tool that allows them to be knocked out from the opposite end of the one you are removing. They can be peeled out with a sharpened punch cut to one side.

The best way to do it is to drive the old bushings into the void in the center of the old spindle housing and leave them there when you drive in the new bushings. Won't harm a thing and nobody will ever know they are riding around with you inside the spindle housing. Done it many times and found them there from where other people had done the same thing. Matter of fact that is where I got the idea.

If the spindles are badly worn it will be impossible to get all the slack out of the spindle because the bottom of the spindle is going to be worn more than the top and you got to take enough out of the bottom bushing to get the top part of the spindle through the bottom bushing so it is going to be loose. This is really not much of a factor though as there will not be any ill effects from a little slack. Or you can try to find a new spindle for big $$$$$
