D17 front pedestal wear

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I got the D17 front end tore apart.  The front pivot in the front pedestal is wore severely.  Either there was never a bushing in it or it wore completely out.  The weld on pivot on the axle does not look that bad.  I know on the old forum sometime ago there was some conversation about how to fix.  Can anyone assist?  I was going to bore it out, put in a metal insert bore it out to the OD of the bushing, but afraid there is not going to be enough material left to be structurally sound. 

Thanks,
Aaron(IN)
