I am hoping somebody will be able to help with a problem on my 08/99 2.8 M52.
I have decided to replace all the bushes, steering control arms, drop links, track rods etc. Calipers and discs
On dismantling it became apparent that there's quite a bit of corrosion on most of the bolts and its still on original Sachs shockers. So the job expands as the splashguards are pretty shot and the 'Kingpin' is very rusty too.
I am not looking to track day my car so am happy to use Autodoc stuff at what I consider very reasonable prices. My problem is that I can't find anywhere that lists the kingpin as an available part.
I have found the naming of this part quite confusing, in the Bentleys manual it's the 'steering arm'. It carries the wheel bearing, off the bottom of the strut.
If I get the bearing off I may be ok to just give it a damn good clean....do I have an option of replacing them ?
