There are different types of king pin bushings depending
on the configuration of your vehicle.
•
Bronze bushings in the axle beam.
•
Bronze bushings in the steering knuckle.
•
Metal backed teflon bushings in the axle beam
or suspension arm.
NOTE: Bronze bushings must be reamed or broached
to the proper diameter after they are pressed
into the axle beam or steering knuckle.
Refer to the illustration below for the type of bushing in

stands, of adequate capacity to lift and
support the vehicle. Failure to use lifting
and support devices of rated load capacity
may result in severe bodily injury.
