Kingpin & Bushing Replacement - Both Sides
for 1996 Buick Regal 3.8L V6 · FWD
🔧Does this apply to your car? Kingpin front ends only (solid axle / twin I-beam through the late 1970s). Each kingpin rides in two identical pressed-in bushings, one upper and one lower. New bushings must be pressed in and then reamed to final fit for the new kingpins — reaming is precision work that many shops sublet to a machine shop, so plan the downtime.
