1970 Dodge D100 Axle 2wheel drive, bad axle

Post by westaline »

Hi Everyone! Need suggestions for a 1970 dodge sweptline d100 pickup that needs a new axle. I have gotten three different used ones and the king pin holes are worn out. Any suggestions what to do so this truck can go down the road again would be great. Thank you so very much in advance.

When you say king pin holes, are you referring to the hole in the axle that the bushing goes into, or are you not realizing there is a bushing in the axle hole that is replaceable? The king pin actually goes into a bushing, not the axle itself. In order for the axle hole to be worn, the bushing would have to be completely worn thru first.
