That is a "King and Link" type suspension. The "King Pin" is the one the wheel axle pivots on. The "Link Pins" are the ones the suspension pivots up and down on. If there is no play in the King pin side to side. Leave them alone. Clean and grease. Otherwise you will have to have a machine shop or someone with the right tools to fit new bushings to new King pins. The link pins look liked there were needle bearings that came out with it. Clean them up and reuse if the is no significant wear on the pins and bearings. Be sure to acquire the correct grease for all these parts. You might check with a couple of shops to see what they recommend. Probably cant get the original kind VW used anymore. Or use a good quality marine grade grease since all the suspension may potentially have water on or around it in a storm. You are a brave soul tearing into all of this. Take plenty of pictures for reassembly. Good luck!!!

Great info there, I've always wondered what type of grease was ran in this older type of link pin suspensions. The few that I've pulled apart seemed pretty thick.

CT - you are learning more each day - BUT - I urge you to make three key changes: 1) you have a shop manual - please use it so you know what you are getting into; 2) do not hit a ratchet handle with a hammer - use an impact gun or a longer breaker bar; 3) clean the parts before you start to disassemble them (simply soaking everything with WD40 is not a substitute for a good degreaser and a stiff brush). That horizontal “shock” is called a steering damper. It helps to keep the steering wheel from jumping around in your hands when you go over irregular bumps in the road. When you are separating those tie-rod ends - put the castle nut back on UPSIDE DOWN - and screw it down until the flat bottom of the nut is flush with the top of the rod end stud - and THEN hit it. Otherwise, you risk bashing the rod end stud and mushrooming it - and then not being able to get it out. Also, you are wrecking the end of your nice new plastic head hammer. I am amazed at how little rust is on the entire assembly. I suspect it has been rebuilt before and all you really need are the tie rod ends and the shocks (followed by a front end alignment). Be sure to use a torque wrench and all new cotter pins when re-installing the assembly onto the chassis. NEVER reuse a cotter pin. Also - those “washers” are actually shims and while I am not a VW expert, I’ll bet they are used to set the steering geometry (likely the camber) of the front wheels. You must keep them together - and in fact, the may need to be replaced or rearranged later when you do a front end alignment. I agree with the other viewer - leave the kingpins (steering knuckles) alone. Just pump some grease into the existing grease nipples and leave them entirely alone. I have to say again - please use your shop manual for these vehicles. Doing this type of work as an amateur without continual reference a manual is a BIG mistake.
@joeblogs81934 жыл бұрын
I agree with all that you say with one added thing. Tag and bag the parts as they are removed. Speaking as a professional motor mechanic, I can see straight away that CT is a novice and heavy handed. You never hit a ratchet with a hammer, respect the tools you use. I am glad you made some good remarks and it not only helps CT, but others aswell. Cheers
@tmackinator4 жыл бұрын
The shims are used to set the front end camber by measuring the offset of the trailing arms and placing shims in front of and behind the link pin as shown on a chart for the VW. There are a specific number of shims that go on each link pin. The groove in the link pin is so you can turn the link pin after assembly.The bolt that you removed rides in he groove. This way you set the play in the link pin by adjusting the link pin by turning the link pin by means of the flats on the end.
@robharris96567 ай бұрын
Shim arent actually for setting camber as much as it is to make up the offsets of the two trailing arms. If you dont put the right amount of shims you will bind up the suspension.

And in all that time I never had a king pin front end. That I ever had to take apart as I had never found one that has worn out. I've only had to replace tie rod end wheel baerings brakes. But never have I found a worn out kind pin front end. So I liked watching us that this one apart I've never seem what one looks like in side thank you.

But your manual should tell you. Oh don't hammer on your ratchet wrench or you will break the gears inside. Use a breaker bar and hammer on it. 1/2" breaker should work on what you have but larger item like wheel hub nuts a 3/4" drive breaker bar is recommended. I was removing one on a Honda one time with a 6 ft pipe and broke my 1/2" breaker bar. They are about 30 bucks $$$ your really making some progress👍

It’s clear from the comments I’m not the only one that has tried to help you make better contact. You have a lot of subscribers but I’m sure you average view time is low. Low because you fill the videos with b roll and saying the same thing over and over and over. You show undoing bolts in real time. Speed that up. As a KZbin creator have you not watched or read any of the analytics data. Viewers are not going to stay and watch a hour of that. I’ve said it several times, I’m interested in the build but your videos are getting worse. This should be a 30 minute max.

This video currently has 577 likes and 37 dislikes. I like those odds. Not bad for a guy working in his garage on the weekend for fun.

Never hit on the threads on a tie rod connection. Hit sideways on the part the taper is going down thru.

Those washers are probably alignment shims. My only guess. I don't know vw though
@CTmoog4 жыл бұрын
Yes, they are. I just have to make sure I put them back in the same place they come out. Hopefully that will be a good starting point to being close on alignment. Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)

If theres a metal sleeve in the shocks where they bolt up , you might want to save them.

Maybe you are doing this, but make sure you BAG, TAG, ORDER, LABLE, NOTATE, AND PHOTOGRAPH. You will thank yourself later. With a beam in that good shape, it is obvious the bus had minimal miles. That amount of play in the center pin is slight. If it were new, it would have 0 axial movement, but you could still press the pin in and out with hand pressure and it could rotate easily.

hindsight is a wonderful thing!. speaking as a professional mechanic, I would have inspected the unit before removing it from the vehicle. Checked for play of bushes/joints,shocks etc. This would determine what requires appropriate attention or not and on that basis stripped as necessary to recondition/replace parts. We have a saying in the motor trade, "If it aint broke, don't fix it". common sense I guess. The first thing is to look at the workshop manual so you understand how it works and how it comes apart and more important, how it goes back together. Don't go jumping in before you know what you up against. Do you want to convey in your videos, the right way to do it or just your way of doing it? I suggest you tell people the correct way, so if they want the challenge themselves, you can give them the correct information. You would not tell some how to make lots and lots of money by stealing it! That would be the wrong way, although the outcome is potentially the same. Hope you appreciate my comment.

Hi Joe, I really enjoy taking things apart and seeing how they work. This is great way for me to learn and to share with others. Being the professional mechanic that you are I'm sure you would agree that a critical moving mechanism like the front beam on this bus should be completely gone over after being in the vehicle for almost 60 years. Better safe than sorry they say...=) Thank you! Say tuned for more!
