front axle pivot pin -- is it soft steel ?

Posted by Bob LaBrie on March 08, 2001 at 04:23:46 from (32.101.237.237):

I managed to remove the 3/4" front axle pivot
pin from my 1955 M-H Pacer. I did mushroom the
end and had to grind back to 3/4".
I have to unanswered questions...
1. Is the pivot pin soft steel. Can I chop
a 5 " section of a 3/4 " concrete form stake
and use it for my pivot pin, or would I be
better off going to a steel supply and
purchsing a length of 3/4" hardend round
stock?
2. Can the 3/4" ID X 7/8" OD pivot pin bushing
be replaced by the standard replacement
bushing material from a well stocked
hardware store? The original looks to be
a combination of brass/copper???
Thanks for the tips.
Bob
