thomastractorsvc Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Came across a 83 R686ST needs torque rod bushings and king pins, lost of TLC and the double frame has cracks just on top of the rail in a few places that I found under the mounting wood no where near what I had found in the previous Mack I looked at that had a crack in front of the fifth wheel. Anyone have a ball park dollar amount on the bushings and the king pins, so I can make this guy an offer I have read several threads where folks have done them at home, thats what I will most likely do. If I get it I would also like to get a sleeper to put back on it if anyone might have one of those to. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

dds92780 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 When i had my kingpins done it was about 1500 to 2000 and that included labor and about 1-2 days down time. Too bad i never held onto that truck though Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!
