After installing my D60 front end and driving it for a week I discovered that both my upper kingpin bushings were toast....Being a cheap SOB I went for the band-aid fix first and bought a set of upper bushings on ebay for $10....I put them in yesterday, man did it ever tighten the kinpins right up - no more slop....I figured I'd be into a big job with siezed bolts and etc but I was done in less than 1hr.....Something must go wrong or am I just paranoid???
I also removed the rear hanger on the LF spring, welded all the holes in the frame over and re-drilled it...It wasn't installed quite right from the day I put the D60 under there and it has bugged me ever since so I finally had to fix it.
I'm looking at buying a rebuild kit for my ZF on ebay, after pricing one locally ($600) the $176 on ebay is looking better all the time....Figured I could run the truck with a used one, rebuild my 2nd one and have it ready if needed....Anyone know where I can get a repair book for a ZF???
