About what should I expect to pay to have King pins replaced in my 50 Ford Custom? The right front is bad. The left feels good but I probably need to have both replaced. Does the front end have to be aligned?
 
It wouldn't hurt to have front end aligned but probably doesn/t need it if just kingpins, which you can probably do yourself.
 
Recommend replacing both Kingpins if either worn. Sold in sets ? I believe the replacements usually require reaming after insertion. Pending year, wheel alignment worth checking after installation but the camber angle is pretty much fixed by the forged axle. That angle is normally fixed unless the vehicle's axle has been damaged. If you can find a good quality front end shop and mechanic, just give them the alignment spec's and they can adjust their machine.
