Default Re: Press & ream Kingpin bushings.

I install both bushings at the same time using a short piece of 3/4 inch all-thread and some big washers and nuts of the same size. Chamfer the leading edges of each bushing, smear on some anti-seize, line up the grease passages, and go slow, tapping the spindle with a ball peen hammer every turn of the nuts. The alignment comes out near perfect.

Mommas don't usually go for greasy old used car parts in their ovens or dishwashers. You might ought to take Momma out for a nice dinner. NOT McDonalds, either! DD
