That's exactly what I ordered from him, but it was the wrong bushing. I may have been calling it the wrong thing.

What you need is a kingpin. Thats an upper kingpin bushing that you pictured.

The lower kingpin is a bearing.

No, it's the bushing that goes up into the steering arm. I may be giving it the wrong name.

The kingpin bushing. Heck I have 2 of them here. Dale you can also get them from randy's ring/pinion.

Then all I need is my tow rig.... It's been in the shop for 6 weeks, thanks to delays caused by the warranty company.

I've couldn't get in touch with Bobby today but I'll try again tomorrow to see if he has the kingpin bushing and swap them out. If so, I still have the job of drilling out the snapped off bolt and probably re-taping the holes.

Even if John is able to get my transmission back in on time, it's first trip probably should be pulling a 9000lb load. Not sure if I should trust the old tow pig either, but I might if I get the 4runner fixed up in time.

I just replaced those in my 60... It had some crazy adjustable ones in it that didn't like the 44s...:redneck:

That is a Dana 60 knuckle pivot bushing.

I'd tell Nick to be there like 15 min earlier than you want to meet, that fawker is always late. :redneck:
