Kingpin bushings installed for $80?

[Guest]

Didn't someone say somebody rebuilt kinpins for $80. Was it Peter? I really don't need them, but should do my shocks. I need lower A arms to so I figured why not.

Was it $80 per kingpin? I had another forum member, Dug, do mine. He did an excellent job, but I can't remember the price. You might want to PM him. If you are rebuilding the a arms, seems like a smart thing to do. I can't believe that the kingpins aren't showing some wear if the a arms need refurbishing. Seems like money well spent if you are going through all that work.

PeterC did my kingpins/a-arms and shocks.

Apple replaced Bushings on my A Arms, they need to be good A Arms not craked or missing material. Around $200, took 5 days to turn them around and back to me.
. Kingpins still need to be fitted and reamed. Peter C did mine around $50 for both sides. 1 Day and they were back going UPS to my door. I do believe Peter C has stopped doing work replacing Bushings on A Arms. Something about lawyers and liability.

Fitting bushings is a little tricky after I attempted it myself. Wasn't worth the effort for a critical dimension piece where the best tool in this case was my credit card.

No shame in pulling out that particular tool!

Billy,

Take 'em down the road to Peter Brauen at BMC Restorations in Kiln. He's got a Spridget kingpin reamer (mine) at his shop.
