![]() ![]() So I'm thinking a break rebuild kit, but 65' is a slightly different set up than all years before it. but not sure what year this front end is. Hard part about this front end is I bought a 66' kit car and the front end is a king pin set up, which they didn't make in 66' so I'm thinking the front end here is an older year. The drivers side makes same sound as passenger, butĭriver side spins much more easily and passenger side feels like it needs lubrication of new bearings. So when I spin the wheels I get a grinding sound on and off, like something is warped and only rubbing some of the time. How are your brakes? You'll be removing every brake part.good time to replace worn parts. Replace your tie-rod ends.the rubber boots look cracked. Not saying this is the perfect way to do it but it will get you through it. anything else worth doing while its a part? The bushing kit comes with all the parts you need. Bushings press out and in easily and we used a socket wrench for a driver. He has a press that came from Harbor Freight for a little over a c-note. My buddy an I rebuilt his '64 link pin front end at home. Posted: Thu 5:18 pm Post subject: Link pin repair Not willing to work with me to say the least. ![]() at all cost!!!īefore reading your post this morning (5 min ago) I called Craver's seems like a nice, in-th-know guy with decent prices (still a bit high to me, but that's the magic of not knowing how to do something- you have to pay to find the person that does know how to do it).īut that man on Union Cross was the second guy I talked to a month or so ago. I would stay away from that jackass on Union Cross Rd. You can try Craver's down on 150 in Davidson County to get them installed. They have them on the shelf so no shipping charges. Go to B&M in High point to get the kings and links. lok slowlow up he has a green split in his avatar. dont know if this is close to you at all. You know slowlow, hes is from kingsport. Thanks to everybody for helping me out with this by the way you guys are great. Anyone want to PM me with some good places within the Winston-Greensboro area that can do this kind of job? I'm willing to be an hour of labor at a shop where they know what they are doing (I might not know how to do it myself, but if I can replace a clutch in about an hour, I doubt it's too much tougher than that, right?) I know the parts to replace both sides barely hits $100 with next-day-air shipping. They need to be shimmed to get the camber correct.Įvery shop around here has either a) Tried to rip me off ($400 is terribly excessive) or b) Can't be bothered on a weekend when I'm off the clock at my own job. They are real easy to take off.ħ bring home, eat pizza then reverse to install. any vw shop should be able to do it no problem. The links are pressed in the carrier so you will need a press to do it. New project 66 bug And 61 bug for parts if you need some 61 parts im me to see if i have it Will trade 61 parts for dual carbs and bumpers for a 66. I believe links shock towers are straight up and down. I'm sure I can find manuals, but the books are all fairly un-biased how hard do you guys think it is? How hard is it to replace the King and Link pins? On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "Put Gas in the Tank" and 10 being "Replace the Heater Channels". ![]() shimmy's in and out so I can't exactly drive it right now).ĭue to the aftermarket beam, it would be safe to say that I have balljoints? Or is there the chance that my ride has king/link pins?Ī quick search in the gallery found these. The PO did that, I like it, but I'm having an issue with the front passenger side assembly. For an on road car the ball joint is easier to keep aligned, and is easier to repair. In a buggy, off road the king and link pin beam is more rugged. The two are not interchangeable, you have to use the one you frame is made for. How can you tell the difference and what are the pros/cons of either?Ĭars up thru 64 used king and link pin beams.
