Does anyone know where I can get just the bushings alone for the front king pins for a '56 F100? Already bought a new kit from M-F and wound up installing/reaming 2 into a bad spindle. All the vendors i know of only seem to sell complete kits! I just need 2 bushings! Don't see the point on Spending $60+ for a complete kit for 2 lousy bushings. Someone's gotta sell them.

 

What's wrong with the spindle?

 

Try these folks. I' ve ordered from them. Well satisfied. They have many sizes.

Amazon.com: Bunting Bearings: Industrial & Scientific

 

Try a local truck suspension/steering shop , they may be able to help you .

 

Found some cracks in the spindle after the fact. Its one that was on a used axle assy. that I bought for parts. Might have been in an accident, who knows. Fortunately I have one off the axle that was under my truck.





Thanks guys. Yeah will have to wait till monday and call a few places I guess. Just called NAPA and got a friend of mine on the case. If NAPA carries it, he 'll find it. Have one other guy I can call today too. Just can't believe you can't buy these bushings separately through the F100 parts specialty places.

 

Surprisingly Amazon did show some, but only 1!!! (more were on the way but unknown delivery date) Thanks... Amazon has TONS of stuff!

I wound up gettin mine from Rock Auto once my Local Napa got me part numbers and then I crossed them into a vendor I could find stocking them. Rock Auto was excellent to deal with by the way.
