I seem to remember a thread awhile back when someone mentioned that
his LBC handled like a truck. I am having a similar problem with my
'76 Midget. The guy at the garage said I need a new kingpin because
mine is bent. In light of that, I have few questions:
1) Is the kingpin the likely culprit of my steering problems or will
other parts need to be replaced as well?
2) How much should a new kingpin cost? I think VB wanted $80. Could I
pick up a good used one?
3) How difficult should it be to put a new one on? Do I need any
special tools? Am I going to be half way through this and realize I
have to have the car towed because I can't get the wheel back on?
I am a little concerned about trying this myself because it took me
about 4 hours just to figure out how to put a new alternator in. I'm
still learning where everything is.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
