Front end rebuild part numbers/prices
Posted: Sun Jun 05, 2016 6:16 pm
I Just rebuilt the front end for my 71 d200, since I had to search for hours for part numbers and info, I decided I wanted to put it all in one and hope it saves you some search time! First off my d200 was the 8 lug setup but I decided I wanted 5 lug, so since my parts truck had that, I just swapped em. From what I found, most of the front end rebuild parts were the same for D200 as D100. I tried to keep this a budget build, so i really searched for the best prices.
Staring with the front leaf springs, my frame shackles had been replaced by the previous owner saving me some time. Not sure what brand they used but it looks similar to the original. So for the leaf spring bushings, I went with rubber, and went with Moog #SB266. I found these thru rockauto for $4.75 each!! 1" round with 1/2" center hole. Found these on eBay all day for $7-10, and Espo.com for $10each +shipping.
The leaf spring bushings I had torched out and pressed in by a local brake & alignment shop for $40.
The polyurethane replacements for these leaf springs ran around $23-30, thru eBay, uspartsoutlet.com, aftermarketsuspensionparts.com and autozone. Tho part numbers for poly were #41005 and #5.2102G.
Shocks are always easy. Went with Monroe #31131. Some may want a heavier duty shock but that's dealers choice.
Rockauto $15.83, summit racing $19.97, eBay $23
Kingpins I went with AC Delco # 45F0044, which comes with brass bushings and roller bearing.
eBay $52, local Napa said it was $80?!?! My old kingpins were seized so I took this into the shop, charged me $170 to knock out old ones with heat, press in spindle bushings and reassemble. Since I don't have a torch and my arm was sore from swinging a sledge it was worth it!!
Tie rod ends; driver side #ES355RL, pass side ES352R. I got these on eBay for $9 each. Rockauto had em cheaper for $5-7.
These were seized as well, local shop heated them out and installed new ones for $30.
Sway bar frame bushings, #9-5157G, summit had non-greaseable ones for $16.97, I went with eBay for a set of greaseable ones for $19.77. Most of these now are polyurethanes And made by energy suspension.
The dog bone (sway bar end link bushings). #9.8107G hourglass shock eye bushing. Made by energy suspension and bought thru summit racing for $11.94 for 2 pairs. A few guys went with 9.9108G but I found these to be too large and didn't seem to work as well. But if u want to try those you can get 9.9108G for $13.19 per pair, or summit for $9.97 a pair. Another older suggestion was #9-8141G, you cut it in half and insert from both ends. $3.97 for pair. But I liked the hourglass shock eye bushing (9.8107G) because it was 1 piece and similar to original size. Just make sure you SAVE your inner metal inserts and DONT press out the outer metal insert. I just drilled out the rubber, popped out the rubber and inner metal sleeve and inserted new bushing and inner rod.
U-bolts, I was extremely lucky to have a set of NOS ubolts come with my truck. Finding ubolts that match originals is tough. Most companies who make them can make them square bends but won't have the flat underside like the originals. Espo said they only make em round and eaton could do a 90' square bend but it wouldn't be flat against the spring. I think true value may have what we need but I didn't look into it.
GREASE! If your getting any poly urethane, buy some sticky grease. You will need it or you will hear about it later!!
Since I was ordering from summit I got 2 small packs of super grease #19-1750.
Thanks to all who have posted links and part numbers and ideas. I found all your info and compiled it into what helped me the most. There's many ways and many different companies and parts to use. But hope this helps.
