We Replaced the Kingpins… Then Found the Spring Bushings Were Bad Too

Описание: This truck came in for a kingpin replacement, but once we got deeper into the inspection, it became clear the job couldn’t stop there.
The spring bushings are also worn out, and leaving them behind would undo the entire repair.
This happens more often than people realize.
When spring bushings wear out, they cause:
🔧 Axle movement under load
🔧 Alignment angles that won’t stay consistent
🔧 Extra stress on kingpins
🔧 Steering instability
🔧 Rapid and uneven tire wear
Replacing kingpins without addressing bad spring bushings is like fixing one link in a broken chain. The new kingpins would immediately start compensating for worn bushings — shortening their lifespan and bringing the problem right back.
That’s why we always inspect the entire system, not just the part being replaced.
Because Parts Never Lie, and once we opened this truck up, the suspension told the full story.
La Bailada is Always Free, and it helps us confirm how much movement exists before and after repairs — no guessing involved.
