daniel boeve Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Today i did have a new surprise The left king pin ( Front ) pivotes at the bottom of the pin on a treaded bolt .I see that the tread is gone and the pin moves freely front to rear or vice versa.What is a remedy for this problem .Other king pin support or new bolt ?

EmTee Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Are you talking about the small pin perpendicular to the kingpin that intersects the kingpin bore in the knuckle and holds the kingpin in place? I think it is item "AG" in the figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kingpin L pivotes on AH bushing and is there a pin AG that keeps the kingpin in the middle of the bushing .I didn't know .At this moment the kingpin sits completely in the front of the bushing AH and not in the middle like on the other side .I take a good look tomorrow after i will clean the grease and dirt from the other side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallo ,no its not that pin .I looked at ebay and there you can buy ,, lower outer pin kit,,and there is the problem.The king pin is moving freely on the outer pin kit , the king pin sits now completely in the front on the bushing instead of in the middle like on the other side .I did not take it apart yet to see where the problem is .i hope the king pin bottom support is not worn out . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldtech Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I think you mean the support (L) not the king pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1939_Buick Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Parts L & AH have threads. Download the 1942 Buick shop manual for free. All of it section by section. Or click the pdf link to pay. http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/Buick/1942/Shop Manual/ It is very comprehensive and has information that can be used with all straight 8’s. It has more information than was included in older “Shop Manuals” before 1942 Edited March 20 by 1939_Buick (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
