Bolster and king pin replacement

@Tug Toy has pictures off replacing that plate .
Most likely it has nothing to do with the way it was greased.
But the supports above have bend/cracked or corroded.
Don't buy it untill you fully grasp what is involved in replacing that plate.

 

I think he said the final bill was $4800.!

 

I dont no diddly squat about any of that.
So if it was me I'd be trying to get concrete answers. Probably start by watching 2 hours of you tube videos. Just to see what all is involved.
Then with the knowledge gained from the videos. (At least I no what the parts are called, and where there located)
I would (preferably) go, or call at least 3 different trailer repair places. (Places that were, far, far, far ,away from each other). Like over 50-100 mile far away.
Now with a decent price range, of best and worse case, repair or replacement.
I could determine for myself! If it was a deal breaker.
But that's me, I dont trust people . So in rder to make an informed decision. I prefer whenever possible to get my own information. (Especially when it's free, but lack thereof could be expensive, VERY EXPENSIVE)

 

Just had mine done for $5000 (well $4800 plus the tow and the service call)
