Give the guys at Oak Auto in Longview a call, 903-297-3496, or maybe someone
else on the list has someone closer that can do it for you.? Or you can send
them to Wolfgang for rebuilt exchange ones.? Any other ideas?

So the old westy bus was getting kinda sloppy in the front end. I've replaced
center drag link pivot and tie rod ends. It felt better but still wandered a
bit down the road. I took it to the alignment place and they set the toe-in but
proclaimed that the king pins are too worn to really align it properly. They
recommended replacement. I took the bus to John Pierce (now in Converse TX) and
he informs me that he can't do bus kingpins because it requires a special
"reamer" for the bushings thats larger than the ones for Type 1.
I'm surely not the first to face this dillema. My question is, what does
everyone else do? Send the spindle assemblies off to someone in distant lands?
or is there someone in Texas that can do this specialized machine work?
