What they made a CAD D60? Was that some kind of TNR special edition or something?
Nice work so far. Are you going with the spring caps or preload?
since it may be warm enough to paint tomorrow, i wanted to get what might need rolling and turning out of the way. so in went lower king pin bearing races and dust shields. it didn’t call or any.. but i figured what the heck, RTV can’t be that bad on a somewhat (in my head) seal surface. back upright, king pins. in case anyone was wondering.. this is what 600ft lbs looks like without a $1200 torque wrench. hahahalso, just for reference, this offset mark is the difference between tighter than anything known to man and hand tight. not even alittle kidding. made this mark while taking off the old ones, so i figured i might as well use it for reference while tightening to an unholy level. i put the new king pins in hand tight, retarded the mark the same amounted the one, and set to work with archimedes’ lever in an attempt to move the world. this is the result

Are you going with the spring caps or preload?springless hi/crossover steering. they have a center ‘set bolt’ that applies preload on the bushing. the kit came with bronze ones. but i’m debating on using just the nylon ones from spicer. just odd putting metal on metal on a turning surface. but.. i guess all greased up its fine.
Yep, my nylons came out broken too.
Me too, and the eye bolt thing is a great idea!Wonder how a big one in the stud hole would work?
I won't even go into the city at all.
Great work. Hope bushings fit OK. I can machine though if required.
Fixed the "my bushings"Will be my first front build, done several rears.
precision fabrication plus spendy, but the stuff i’ve gotten from him so far has been amazing. everything is 2nd to none. and he’s an amazing guy. when you call. he’s the one that answers. incredibly knowledgeable and friendly
