Ford 555A steering arm p/n help

mattyb515 · Apr 17, 2023

Hi all,

I'm getting ready to repack the steering cylinders and noticed that the left front wheel spindle looked like it was missing a bushing. I've got both the parts and service manuals and they're not jiving in terms of nomenclature. I want to ensure I order the correct part. The parts manual shows what I'm looking for as part #77 and it's called a dust seal p/n TDBA-3125-A# (valid thru 5-83 / wouldn't work for me). The service manual calls it a seat. I've attached a few photos to show you what I'm working with. Of course, the previous owner fabricobbled something for the right front. Any help with the correct p/n is appreciated.

The online parts book drawing is a bit different, and it shows bushings that go into the spindle to fit the spindle pins (aka Kingpins). Here is a link to the page in the online parts book.

Much appreciated Jim. I've bookmarked that site and will be using it for p/n references from now on.

Hopfully running that long with thrust brgs gone didnt wear bottom of axle to point having to be built up along with either replaceing spindles or build them up.

That was my thought Shawn. Luckily, the unit has sat for the past decade or so by the previous owner only being brought out to move snow which we haven't seen much of here in southeast PA. I took a look and surprisingly I don't see any wear marks but I won't know until I get the bushings in there.
