- You will notice signs of kingpin and bushing failure from incorrect vehicle alignment, premature and uneven front tire wear and rough handling. It can result in a shaking cab or steering wheel. Because of the potential for further damage and driver safety risks, properly diagnosing and repairing worn kingpins and bushings needs to be a priority.
This how-to video was produced with a 1963 Ford F100. While there are differences between straight-axle trucks, this should help you give a basic understanding of the process and tools you may need.

Makes me want this as a vintage Airstream puller! Especially now that this work is done 😬. Good video Jason!
thanks for the video I bought a 69 F250 about a year ago and couldn't drive it over 40 since all the bushings were shot I paid a shop to rebuild everything after watching these videos I can see I could had done it myself nice truck !!!!! That things sweet they added shims only said the kingpin and bushings were good next time I will do it myself ..
That is a neat truck, and really clean. I came here because I am about to put a king pin and bushing set in a 1990 f-superduty. Looks similar Im hoping maybe just the kingpins are worn and not the bushings cause that looks like a whole different project
great video thanks I will apply this knowledge I just gained to do a Eurospec VW LT pickup truck that needs a kingpin! cheers
😁😁😁🤗🤝 I did like you said on my 1979 Ford F100 4.9liter 2wd.(no power steering. But I put the crow bar under the tire 🌚, the 🤴king pins didn't wobble↔️ like yours did. But did go up and down ⬆️⬇️ when moving the bar, (there not tight like new)? Could bad king pins cause your alignment to knock off,?🤔 sometimes I am knowticing pulling to the ⬅️left when I take my hands off the steering, sometimes. Having to right➡️ steering with a little more effort at times 😐! Thank you for your channel ! Your the man at what you do!
Higher angle Caster wedges will eliminate road wander even more
Dude this is cool. I just bought a 63 last Friday. I have some challenging days ahead as I'm starting with front to back new drums, shoes, cylinders, bearings. 2nd This exact do it yourself video is my next task, this will help. I noticed on mark 0:47 that horseshoe arm that comes out and connects to a steering link is shot. Seems like a good time to fix while doing the breaks. I will subscribe and follow along!
2:52 never reused cotter pins grab the round part of the Carter PIN with the Dyke and just pull it out
Late to the game but I just got my first old truck, a '59 F100. Can this be done with the axle on the truck or do you have to remove the whole axle? It seems that unless you were doing spring or steering work it wouldnt be necessary to remove the whole thing (unless you need to put it in a press, I guess).
Thank you very much
Thank you sir
awesome video! is a 58 Chevy straight axle similar to a Ford's? replacing King pin concept the same?
Thanks for the lesson. I have a 64. Your grill appears to be from a 64.
couple things.....1. love you guys - seriously my dream to have a shop like Den. 2. The spider tattoo is rad 3. Did Ol Boy lose his pants during second half???? It hot up there? ha
I realize this was 4 years ago but yea. Was just having a laugh about the same. Nothing like you and boys working in vintage on July 28th and you gotta strip before you pass out lol
nice truck !
Hey thanks!! 😊
When you do king pins you need to do the bushings
8:52 he said that the bushings are new. Please get your facts straight before you post. 🤐
@@mattshansen9814 no, he said the BEARINGS were new, the typical kingpin set includes brass bushings that go into the upper and lower spindle pivot points and are line reamed AT THE SAME TIME, in other words, using the same size reamer on the upper and then lower pivot point of the spindle would produce the same diameter bore, but out of line with one another. It's important to use a reamer that enables you to either ream both points at the same time
What size rimmer did you use if you could tell me that'd be helpful
I'm currently trying to replace my kingpins myself on my 1964 f100. However the sleeve that holds the kingpin in place (the one you used the brass hammer on) are not coming loose. Any tips? Great Video.
KJB they need to be pressed out and machine shop can do it for you
I have a 50-60’s chevy axle is there a cap on top of the king pin? I have tried to push the pin down/out & what I am hitting down on seems to be a cap.. would appreciate any assistance.. thanks!
I have a $67 Dodge and, just like you, have pins that are capped, did your set of replacements come with what looks like to freeze plugs? The proper term is to swedge them upon installation which in essence reverses them creating the seal. I'm coming to find out that it almost seems like, given the near obsolescence of the kingpin and passenger vehicles, tending to them is a good opportunity to keep alive the Machinists methods of the past century. Walk into a jiffy lube and say you need your kingpin thrust bearings reamed and make a video of their faces go town to town to all the corporate places, now that would be a UA-cam winner for the couple hundred people who would get the joke to begin with I guess
Why take the axle out
Would a balljoint press work just as well? I have a 1979 f100???🤔🤔🤔🤔
I think that would work for you!
🤩🤩🤩🤗 Thank you!
Did you really do all that work and not replace the spindle bushings? Or did you just skip over it in the video?
Forgot to show that, you caught me 💥👍🏽😜
Ford F100 F250 1979 Remove and install straight axle truck
Why didn’t you replace the bushings in the spindles? That is what needs to be renamed out! Not the axle!
I would have thought the bushings were worn and not so much the kingpins
Not sure how it happen but yeah agreed but the king pins were way gone!
It’s not nessary to remove axle to do this, and you should ALWAYS replace the bushings in the spindles and ream them to size.
@Joey Kenneth idiot
@Kareem Barte double idiots
you ahhh did ahhh a ahhh good ahh job ahh and ahh thanks ah for ahh this ahh video ahh
Haha, it’s hard to get on video and talk, I got to work on that, good thing is I don’t talk like that in person, but maybe I do! 😆
@@blueovalranch Sheesh. Everybody's a critic. Who cares? Your not a professional speaker... so what! You did you a fine job of explaining the process. We're mechanics here... not Rhodes scholars. And that I'm thankful for. LoL!
LOOKS LIKE YOU COULD ALSO ELIMINATE TAKING THE AXLE OUT.....JUST SAYING....
Oh yeah you can but we were doing other work to it as well.
