#Replacing king pins install#
I had a machine up install them upside down once. This should be common sense, but be sure to check the bushing installation performed by the machine shop to insure that the bushing are installed so their holes line up with the grease zerks. Once the bushings were pressed in, the knuckle assy needs to be line reamed so the pin will fit snugly into the knuckle/bushing assy. I always had a machine shop install the bushings in the knuckles, as they were intentionally supplied with a smaller inner diameter than the king pin. When I did the Fords, the knuckle bushing and king pins were sold as a set. The knuckle bushings are a much softer material and, as such, that is where the wear occurs. I'm not at all surprised you are not measuring any wear. The king pins are made of a very strong/hard alloy, considering the load that is upon them. Any slop that is there now will be taken up when the locking bolt is installed in the axle, to secure the king pin in the axle. The king pin will not fit snugly in the axle. Reviewing the Dodge service manual, they are near identical procedures. I've never had to do king pins in a Dodge, but have done them in Ford E370 stripped chassis that were under the step van bodies we utilized in my business.
