    I have a 54 Pontiac Chieftain. Having the machine shop put in new king pins from kanter and dropped uprights from fat man. Machine shop is telling me i need a .015 oversized bushing. They fit the king pins, but are too small for the spindles. Anyone know where I can get some, hopefully without buying a different king pin set. Can't get a hold of kanters customer service to figure out if I got the right set or if they have the bushings i need. Any help is appreciated.

    not for nuthin, but what kind of machine shop can't turn out a couple of simple bushings? They don't have a lathe?

    Did you contact Kanter? It seems their parts should be correct for your application.

    I'm sure the machine shop can make them, just figured if I could find what I need it might be a little cheaper. Having a hard time with kanters cust service. Keep playing phone tag.
