This is probably stupid...but I was wondering if anyone carried jus the felt washers for Ford king pins?? I have a brand new king pin kit but seemed to have misplaced one of the felts....I understand the reason for this felt to keep moisture out. If I cant find one...is there an alternative to what I can use instead? Thanks....
You might try going to your local fabric store with the other one for a comparison and I be tthey can find you o piece of felt that will be suitable. Then just cut out your own. I nice set of gasket punches would make a nice cut.
Yes, just as long as they aren't the anti-corrosion chemical impregnated type. Another trick I have used; is to trim a couple of tie rod BOOTS - the dust boots - and fitted them under the top of the king pin.
this is probably way to easy for you guys here but how bout just an oring? may want to add a little downward pressure while putting the bolt thru the king pin but id bet it will work fine .. Oh ya ive done this Dave
I have a set that came with a NORS kingpin set I bought on ebay, 1 felt is nice and 1 felt is kind of puffed up but they are both NEW and include the washers also. I can drop them in the mail if you get stuck...
Thanks thats really cool of you. My friend over at Riley Auto helped me out and was able to get me some here....Thanks
