Shucks, napa, national, and carquest cant find me one that wont cost over $150 before shipping. Napa found one in illinois, but its like $200 after shipping

Where can i find a kit that wont cost me an arm and a leg?

Do a search on Ebay. As they have some vendors that offer "Buy It Now" I have seen them for $60 or so.

Good Luck

I got mine through Roberts motor parts. It's been a few years but I don't think it was that expensive.

Just got one delivered off Ebay today for $45. Still in a 60 year old box. Taking to machine shop in the morning.

I got mine from Mid-Canada Suspension in Winnipeg. $100 Canadian...check the exchange...usually works to the advantage of US buyers.

Very easy to deal with and good prices. Kind of the Neil Riddle of Canada but he does a lot of newer Mopar stuff as well and covers a lot of years. He really knows his Mopar parts.

Kanter has complete kits but a bit pricey. when you get to the dissassembly part, there are some tapered locking keys that need to be tapped out in a certain direction. Do I know which is which ? No, but several folks have done it and should be able to guide you.

Just want to give you a heads up lest you break out the BFH before its truely necessary.

[Joe Flanagan]

Also, said tapered pins are often covered with road grime and are impossible to see. Clean everything first. There is a section in the manual on how to tap them out, I believe.

[greg g]

Actually if you get them cleaned up so that you can see them well, check to see which end looks bigger. then tap them out from the smaller end with a suitably sized drift and hammer.

[Joe Flanagan]

That's the ticket. You can't do anything until those pins come out. As is often said, "Ask me how I know."

[Andydodge]

When you clean the crud off the uprights & stub axles on BOTH sides you will see the locking pin, its usually 3/8th in size and if you look carefully you'll see that one side is usually protruding outside of the hole and is completely round whereas the other side of it may not be protuding out of the upright hole and you should be able to see that its got one side machined flat to allow it to "lock" the against the kingpin......to remove this locking pib get a brass drift/old 3/8th bolt or large steel punch and a big hammer and hit the pin from the side that has the machined flat.........once it has been removed the king pin can be removed by taking out the small welch plug that is sometimes still there at the top of the king pin, then using the large drift just tap the king pin out thru the bottom of the stub axle.........try and clean the stub axle spindle as best you can as it makes it much easier when you can see how it goes together........andyd
