I have had the newer needle bearing ones since 2010-11 or so but had to replace link pin bushing and know they are non existent unless custom made.
My machinist looked at them told me its a standard king pin and a foddril will work.My king pins were worn so bought 2 foddril king pins yup fit right on.You will have to adjust and move the washers but no big deal forgot which go where and use the foddril snaprings.
I know some still run them so figure id throw it out there for those who were wondering.

Exactly and why i posted it i know many here ran them and at one pint looking for link pin bushings.By now king pins may be worn out too so perfect time to swap and rebuild them and now you have a common link pin bushing.
The needle bearings are the same as foddril ones too.I spent about 330 in parts but rather do this than go with the china spindles.
