Default Moog kingpins

I thought I would start a new thread about these American made kingpins for our old Fords. I have been piggybacking (or hijacking)on an older king pin puller thread, but the parts I just received deserve more than that. Moog is a suspension company of good repute. The old bushings I pressed out were a split bushing but these are a full circle type. Lots of bronze to hone before you get to the steel. Even the thrust bearings are American made. The bushings came wrapped in oiled waxed paper and they pressed into place nicely with my trusty old wilton vice. I already honed one spindle but when my son shows up to work tomorrow I hope to do a short video of the process and the pin dropping slowly under it's own weight. About 63 bucks on amazon, free shipping.

They are going into yet another jailbar tonner. This truck is getting a mechanical overhaul. It will have a low mileage H six and a T-9 four speed. These kingpins are not hollow, seems an odd place to save steel. Looks like this same set works for cars and 1/2 tons too. The 1 1/2 tons use a larger set.

Default Re: Moog kingpins with short video

In the past I have always sourced NORS and all the old USA parts have been nice quality. I was already buying some stuff on amazon, and decided to give these a try. I haven't gotten the spinning spoon video yet but I posted last night's video. It is just a bit longer than a minute.

My son took the spinning spoon video. I will post it to youtube. Really, you mechanical types already get how it's done... But maybe someday a chevy stovebolt guy will want to know how he can hone his kingpins and there, he will have it!

Odd, it says made in USA on the box. And the bearings...... I think my bushings just have a different look. Since when was MeHico part of the US? OH, of course there is Mexico Maine. Not to overlook Rome Georgia, Athens Texas and Paris Tenesee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caQ8a4hLiaM

Now that's exactly what I was talking about! So in Maine there are no 'supply chain' issues with stuff produced in Mexico or China. You just jump in yer ragged ol truck and pick it up in person.

Well, I didn't say Mexico was part of the US; I said Mexico was in America. You know, the North American continent, consisting of Canada, the United States as well as Mexico. The US is only a part of the continent.
