<p>[QUOTE="Rideandrepair, post: 11678347, member: 168603"]I don’t know. Price seems average. I was told once to use a Kysor reamless bushing Kit. Everyone makes the quick kits. I think I’ll stick with the regular ones. Mainly because my originals lasted a long time. Same with all my front end parts. Whatever brand they are, probably Merritor, that’s what I’m using. A bigger concern is if your spindle is egg holed out. New ones are expensive. They can be bored and sleeved. Axle Surgeon does them. I’ve heard that if it’s needed, it’s best pricewise to have them do the whole Job. Easyrider has an excellent video on YouTube doing kingpins. Reaming them doesn’t seem very hard. Makes for an exact fit. The reamless spiral are ideal for a do it yourselfer. I think I’d use any of the Major brands. Some aftermarket kits are so cheap. Can’t help but be Leary of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
