ive got a 1966 bronco and i had what i believed was death wobble but after fixing every steering problem it still is happening. i noticed while driving infront of it looking back that the drivers side had positive camber... oh was like oh dang i bet the king pins went out! so i jacked it up and sure enough the hub rocks back and forth probably 1/4 inch maybe more... and so tightened the hub bearing to make sure it wasn't just a lose hub bearing... it wasnt. so i took out the top and bottom king pins... and when i took the top one off i was finally able to lift the hub high enough where it wasnt posotive camber anymore but at that point its not lining up with the king pin bearing/bushing... so i put my finger inside the bushing and its extremely lose... it slides around probably 1/3 inch back and forth in all directions...
does this sound like a bad king pin bushing?/bearing? i know dana 30's aren't like normal king pins they have bearings instead of pressed bushings. so i wanted to know if anyone knows if this is the problem?
wild horses 4x4 has the set for each bushging/bearing for about $33 so i figured id order 4 and change them all and ones... what do yall thing? is this a hard thing to do? i know it can be hard to replace 1 ton bushings but looking at this it looks much more easy.. let me know if you have the answer and or any advice thank you!
