Kingpin Troubles

I have a 63 F-100 and when I did the brakes I noticed that there is a bit of a wobble in the kingpins. Where can I get a kit, how much is it, and how hard is it to replace them?

if you use the plastic bushings that were oem the job is simple with normally no special tools needed
I always prefered to have spindles fitted ith bronze bushings that last much longer but have to be done at a machine shop

1957/64 F100

B7C-3111-A .. King Pin Kit came with STEEL & BRONZE BUSHINGS ONLY.

Nylon bushings were not available for 1957/64 F100's.

4) B7C-3110-A .. King Pin Bushing-STEEL & BRONZE

1965 and later king pin bushings were either steel/bronze or nylon.
