Kingpin Bushing O.D. and Length

[Thodge]

I’m looking for the outside dimensions of standard A kingpin bushings. My ‘31 Hupmobile also uses 13/16” kingpins but kits for it are unobtanium. My pins are in good shape but I need bushings and was hoping I could adapt the Ford parts to fit my spindles.

Remember a machine shop can make bushings for you.

The ID of the bush is .8125. OD is .940 for a .937 bore, length is 1.062

Thank you. Sounds like the diameter will work for my application. They’re 1/16” shorter than my existing bushing but that shouldn’t affect anything. I could have new ones made but when Ford bushings are readily available and $20, it seems like the way to go.

Sounds like a good solution. I've always loved the name Hupmobile even though I know nothing about them...

It’s a good name to really confuse people at the gas station when they ask what it is. They always look baffled and ask “Who made it?”. I probably could tell them it’s a Purple Unicorn and they’d have no idea whether I was lying or not.

Now that the Bushing question has been answered, I'll hijack this thread and offer my 1928 Model A Hupmobile. Here is the Craigslist link.
