King pins and bushing needs replacing; to do this project only once I decided to go ahead and replace the upper/lower A arms control shafts, spindle bushings and coil spring insulators also. Realizing this will be a big job for a rookie so any guidance/best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jules51

Just remember the spring is compressed even when the car is jacked up, it can hurt if you do not use a jack or a compressor for springs.

shogun1940, thanks for the heads up. I have a coil compressing tool, loaner, from AutoZone. According to the shop manual I'll need this for the install, not disassembly of the coil spring and lower suspension; correct? Thanks Jules51

In the interests of safety, if you have not done this job before, get someone who has to help you. It may save your life.

Okay, the rebuild went okay. I'm struggling with getting the spindle support assembly into the upper arm assembly. The seals, #3075 are what I'm struggling with, getting them along with the bushing, #3046 into the upper arm. Any suggestions? Thanks Jules51

I received your message, could you take a picture to show us the problem do you already have the spring compressed??
