Ok, lets do our dana 60 4x4 king pins
Ok. following the Thrashingcows lead, I thought to add this on the first page of this thread in case it vaporizes or gets attacked by a zombie apocalypse:

Ok guys and gals, I decided to do a how to thread on replacing your Upper king pin and renew all of the bushings and seals on a 4x4 dana 60 for our Dodges. I am working alone and had nobody to take pics, so I did not take any disassembly pics. I didn't want to get my camera dirty. This will be an assembly thread, but all you need to do is start at the bottom and reverse this for disassembly.
I did mine one side at a time, but you could raise the whole front and do both sides at once. Always use safe practices, like eye protection and good, sturdy jack stands. NEVER GET UNDER A VEHICLE SUPPORTED BY A JACK ALONE. I am only going to talk about the work from after the removal of the hub and disc assembly. This is covered in a great BC847 thread in the sticky Here https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=143024.
Now that I talked about how to start, now I am going to jump to the other end and talk about the install. Just reverse this for disassembly.
Make sure that all parts are clean and ready for installation,

Makes sure that the lower king pin bearing cup seat is clean and ready to accept the new bearing cup:

During disassembly, the old bearing cup needs to be driven out, but retain the old cup for use during reassembly. I hit the lower cap from the top with a hammer to start the cup moving, then used a stout punch to drive it out.
Remember to put the cap in first:

then the bearing cup:

Tap the cup in as evenly as possible. If you have the correct drift, use that, but carefully tapping works:

You can use the old cup to fully seat the new cup, but be sure to put the thicker side down (very important):

The old cup will be stuck No worries, clamp a pair of vise grips on the thick side of the old cup and drive off with a hammer:

I then used a punch to make sure it was well seated. You can now use the old cup to drive in the new seal. Put the freshly packed lower king pin bearing, after greasing the cup, then the seal. Drive it in until it firmly seats:

Here you need to install the rotor/hub assembly, caliper, brake pads and 4x4 hub assembly, see sticky for instruction on this:

When I cleaned up the right side parts I found that the bushing had failed completely and was no longer supporting the spring evenly. This is demonstrated by the deformation of the steel spring retainer. This side is much worse than the other and I hope that this was the cause of my death wobble problem.

Thanks, I got to checking and I found lower king pins here: https://www.wfoconcepts.com/cr/Dana-60/3172 and have 2 of them ordered up. I am going to replace them with the wheel still on, just jacked up. I thought they were not available any more. When I get them, I will post the pics. I am not going to drive the truck until EVERYTHING is new...Mark
