Re: Kingpins discontinued for my Dana 60????!!!

OK man, i just did mine, check it out. It is VERY common only to need the bushing in the top and not the whole Kingpin. You do not have to remove the axles, or even the brakes to do the top. Just take the 4 bolts out of the cap and remove the white bushing. SUPER simple. I did replace the Kingpin while I had mine apart because, well, i figured might as well. You will need a big ass 7/8 allen wrench to remove the kingpin itself. i have one you can borrow if you pay shipping. But theyre not too expensive. I used the 7/8 allen wrench and a jack handle cheater bar. The bottom has a bearing, not a kingpin. You can remove the lower cap, replace the bearing and reinstall. You dont NEED to replace the race unless its rough, pitted, etc... but again, I figured might as well.

I got my kingpin rebuild kits from Off Road Design.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.
