King pin bushing question?
Hey guys, I'm installing a set of AIM dropped I beams. The brass bushings they supplied with the kit dont fit my spindles. I pressed them in with some effort and when I pressed the king pin in it damaged the bushing.
Is there different size bushing for different years?
Thanks,
MIke

Yep
Time for plan B, all bronze bushing are press fit and require reaming to the correct inside diameter. Typically a coupla thousands more than the king bolt diameter.
Hopefully there not some funky diameter and only avaliable at AIM for ten grand...

if you dont want to get them reamed you can go with nylon bushings wich dont need to be reamed. dont last as long but should do you good, and you can buy just t he bushing call your parts store.
