Just imagine how many hours you did complete this well done job , thanks for this very informative video working with front suspension, you did it all wonderful job,

[@georgegeorgepht]

This is one thing I don’t dare do on my trucks.
I never work on the front end. I’m just to scared I might make a mistake that can cause the whole thing to come apart while driving 😂
I rather pay someone like this guy who makes it look ridiculously easy. But that’s because he does it all day for years.
Remember. All the great masters of their trade make the job look easy. That’s what makes them masters of a trade.

Just a few hours ago the dry van in front of me lost his back duals on the interstate going east just past Lincoln ne .

[@i.am.ghost.]

I never saw a new kingpin going like this through those new metal bushings. I used to do this operation hundreds of times back there in Europe, but a new kingpin was not fitting through new bushings and I always had to mill those bushings on a CNC milling machine.
When a kingpin was going through like this through new bushings i had to go with thicker bushings and mill them on a CNC.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

How often should you replace Kingpins? And if its allot of miles would it be best to replace tierods spring bushings check spildles, races and Bearings for galling.
Just rebuild the whole frontend.
With new steer tires, brakes and shocks. Indexing the steering wheel to dead center.Then do a 3 axle alignment?

[@SemiWorkin]

Thanks for watching!! It’s hard to say how often you replace king pins it really depends on how well you maintain your truck.

[@suetekh933]

I don’t think there is a certain mileage that you replace your king pins at. We always just check them jacking up the front end, putting a pry bar under one of the front tires and then stepping on the pry bar to see if there is any up and down play in the tire. If there is a considerable amount then you need to replace them.

[@PRNadh]

Excellent work 👍, with highly skilled personal, great 👍

[@stevenliberadzki9160]

Good video. Done many a king pins on I'd say every manufacturer and yes never seen em come out that nice by the time they were needing replaced. My only issue with this video is the only tool I didn't see is a torque wrench. Was kinda shocked seeing the skill level the mechanic possessed and didn't see one. His knowledge on the process tells me he should know better. Solid video all the same.

[@kw900lkevin]

I agree not seeing a torque wrench especially for lug studs a impact gun is not a torqueing tool,over stretching lug studs can break

[@RodeoJoe1981]

Just cause u didnt see it doesn't mean he didn't, I didnt see ubolts tighten, measure front hanger to unbolts to ensure square axle. I saw skill and care otherwise. I judge on what I see, not what I dont!
