Next step. I am learning that all is not what is was or seems to be. Working on the Knuckle unit now and was set to install new " PIN " bushing in the lower end. The OLD one looks threaded and screwed out and smooth back in. The NEW one is similar to the inner upper / lower control arm bushings, as it appears to cuts its way in. I hesitate to just jam the new bushing into the threaded knuckle before consulting with you here. Advice please from all. Many thanks again. Clay

After racking my brain about the replacement king pin sets that I had gotten from Napa, and taking said parts with me to Tim's get together with the Canuck's and asking some Guru's, I finally called Andy's place and he had reaffirmed what I thought but didn't understand. Napa and Rock Auto list a king pin kit that is the same for Plymouth and Dodge. Those aren't correct for the Dodge cars. The upper bushing in the spindle is replaced with a needle bearing. Bernbaum sells a kit with a larger upper bushing to replace the larger diameter needle bearing. I just wanted to put this on here for anyone doing searches on this in the future.

I'm installing new lower control arm bushings on my '48 D24 3-window. I got new bushings and shaft from Andy Bernbaum in Newton, MA (very quick delivery). When I removed the old bushing the threads looked very, well, bad. The threads in the control arm also looked bad and looked like they were squared off on the top, not sharp. The new bushings also have these square threads, at least one of them does, the other bushing has sharper threads. My problem is that the bushings only go in about two threads. The shop manual talks about using cutting oil when installing to cut threads. The experienced guys here at work say just use a bigger wrench. Also, the other side went together ok, not like a new fine thread, but not too bad. Should I just use a bigger wrench? Should I tap the control arms? What size tap? Should I run a die over the bushing? Should I exchange the bushings? I've never done this before, a bigger wrench doesn't seem right. Thanks, John B. 401-297-9652
