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.
 
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.
