Does anyone sell just the bushings......as opposed to a kit with the pins, etc?

Thank you!

Bump. Anyone have any input on this? I searched and never saw where anyone mentioned it. Surely somebody sells just the bushings? I don't need new king pins. I can't be the first in this situation. :?

Thanks for the help/input.

No, just two. I was reaming the first side when I screwed them up. These were good German kits so I am looking for equivalent bushings. I'd rather buy another complete German kit than to have one side with German bushings and the other with el cheapo bushings. Thank you for your reply. I guess it's looking like they are not sold by themselves, huh?

I will dig them out tomorrow evening to be sure.

Even though there apparently wasn't much interest in this, I thought I'd share that I found out Wolfsburg West does carry these by themselves. They are not a part of their normal inventory and you will not find them on their website, but they are available, just FYI.

If you do happen to damage a bushing or make a mistake during the reaming process, it's a waste to have to purchase an entire kit with pins you do not need, not to mention expensive.

No, there was interest, we just didn't know the answer. Thanks for the heads-up!

Hey Fluxcap,

Well you never know on a forum if people just don't' know, aren't interested, or are blowing you off. I honestly figured the question was getting passed over because I couldn't imagine being the first in this boat. But yeah, you bet. I forgot to mention, prices are subject to change I'm sure, but WW currently charges $5.50 per bushing.....which is a huge savings compared to a complete kit.
