1997 Monterrey kingpins
Dave_Nolan:
Hi, I'm New. My name's Dave. I recently bought a 97 monterey. I was told it needs kingpins. It has a westport steering axle. Talking with a technician at westport he believes it may be a 143698-0053 rebuild kit. But his records only go back as far as 98. He said this was used for several years but can't confirm it's the right part. Any information on kingpins for the S series Monterrey would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

I had our kingpins replaced a few years ago, but my coach is a 2004 Beaver Marquis Sapphire, 45 feet and over 20 tons total. Given the difference in the years of manufacture and the model, I doubt the information found in the link below will be of much value. But... here it is, including sourcing, pricing, and part numbers (p/ns).

If by chance you are in the Northwest, you would be glad to have visited with Henderson's Line-up in Grants Pass. They are unparalleled when it comes to chassis services on our coaches. As BAC sponsors, they may also give a discount to members.

I live in the north east. I'm a retired heavy equipment mechanic. I don't mind doing the job myself. I'm just hesitant about buying the parts when I'm guessing what they are. I was hoping someone else might be able to confirm if the Kingpins in a 97 are the same as the 98.
Joel Ashley:
A call to Henderson's may provide the answer you need, especially if you identify as a BAC member, and provide their parts techs with your coach parameters and the Westport info you've gleaned so far. You don't necessarily have to be a customer.
