Dreaded King Pins..

1350.00 is a pretty good deal if they are boring the axle pin holes. Locally here in NC they get 500.00 just to come out and bore. Sleeves are extra. King pin sets are about 350-400 here, so thats already almost 900.00 not counting labor for the rest and the alignment.

 

They don't go from good to bad that quick. If you'd jack the front up and check you could have done it yourself last year for the price of parts and saved your new tires.

if it's Eaton FA you can download pdf for maint., freeplay tolerances.

Don't forget to set toe when finished.

 

my oldman just had his done was like $1200 so your price is good

 

Darn cheap in Midwest more like 1500 and u had to do them at 1.4 mil u got there life outa them did mine at 750000 and jack front end up twice month greasing them check your shackle pins

 

After the original kingpins they never seem to last as long. Whether its the quality of the part or poor mechanic doing the job we've always had bad luck after the originals go out.

 

It's the bushing that's brass. Original bushing is plastic. Need to be reamed for pin to fit. Then you can shim it how tight you want it. I could barely get grease to pump out of mine when I did 'em they were so tight.

 

Why not just go with Kaiser kingpins? No teaming necessary.

 

I like the no ream Kaiser kits too. The first one I did, I didn't think it'd last as long, but they do just fine. That's all I've been using for years and never had an issue.
