Does anyone have the p/n for the Torrington flat bearings and spacers to use
in a kingpin rebuild? I couldn't find them on the tech site.
Thanks,

Hi Ray,
Torrington NTA-1220 needle bearing. 3/4" bore x 1.250" OD.
TRA-1220 = hardened washer, 0.031" thick.
TRB-1220 = hardened washer, 0.062" thick.
TRC-1220 = hardened washer, 0.093" thick..
Usually one TRA and one TRB washers are needed to make up the required total
thickness under the axle beam. I would install the thinner washer to the top
as it bears completely on the axle eye. Thicker washer under bearing on the
steering knuckle side as the bushing may not give total bearing area. Shim
top of king pin to achieve 0.004" vertical clearance.
