Kingpin replacement questions
Gotta replace the kingpins on my F350 2wd. I have read the factory service manual and a few online tutorials and Im positive I can do it myself. My one question tho is, How do I know what size reamer I need to ream the bushings? Does anybody know. Does anybody know where i can look to find out?
Thanks in advance.

Take your spindles to a shop and have 'em do the job.
It's worth the money IMO, especially if ya get the metal bushings fitted. My local machine shop did it for $80 and they are snug like a bug.
A good time to do bearings and races too.

I would much rather do it myself. Lost my job a few weeks ago and any money saved is a blessing.
Nonetheless, If I have a shop do it, I only have to take them the spindle correct? They dont need the whole I-beam.
Thanks

Correct. Bring 'em the spindles and a kingpin kit.
