I finally found my vibration or wobble problem, king pin worn. I need to find a internet part supplier to find a king pin kit. I also need a part number.

If anyone else has replaced their king pins, please give me some advice, part #'s, or reccomendations. Any comments is apreciatated

I've rebuilt front D60 king pins with kits from Randy's ring and pinion, if you have a good Napa or other parts store you can probably piece it together a little cheaper but the last time I tried it was a pain. Randy's doesn't list the kits on the site(I don't think) just call them they'll know what you want. http://www.ring-pinion.com/index.htmlEDIT: I think JimmyCTD's source is cheaper.

 

I bought all of my parts from Parts Mike (See Jimmy's post above). He had everything I needed, would sell it all individually, and had the best prices I found. My local places couldn't even get the parts in when they ordered them.

I took everything apart, and replaced the king-pins as well as bushings . . . but I would recommend just taking the caps off the top, putting new springs and bushings in, and calling it a day. That approach is not too hard. Taking the knuckle off means fooling with all of the stub shaft slingers and seals and bearing . . . not hard, but a lot of stuff to keep clean. And once you pull the axle shaft out, you really have a cleaning nightmare ahead of you.

PS: If you need to replace the king pin itself and do not have a 7/8" hex key you can buy an extended acorn style lug nut from your local parts place, screw a regular cap screw into it tight to help keep it from distorting, and then use a regular six point socket (or even pipe wrench) on that. Installation torque on the king pins is 500 to 600 lb feet. 3/4 inch drive required . . .

 

Thanks guys!!! I did call NAPA, they couldn't get it.
