kingpin kit
Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2017 3:52 pm
I am sourcing a kingpin rebuild kit for my 1970 d100 (2500lb axle) since I have everything apart for sand blasting and painting; there is a slight amount of slop in the spindles so I might as well do the kingpins.
Alot of the kingpin rebuild kits I am finding are now coming with nylon bushings; does anyone have any experience with these? Are they any good, and do they need to be reamed like a metal bushing?
When I rebuilt the kingpins on my sons 1969 d100 a few years ago the kits al came with metal bushings, so this must be a new thing.
Anyone out there have any experience or opinions on installing these nylon bushings into the spindles?
