Hey Art,
Where can a get a used kingpin reamer (for a Midget) for $70? Do any
parts suppliers sell used ones? I've seen new ones for $200, but I
can't bring myself to spend that much.

Don't assume that because you have found one problem, you have found the
ONLY problem.

Your king pins are bad and need to be replaced. Because of sale
prices now is a good time to at least buy a major suspension kit. It can
be had for about $90 American and includes everything needed to do the
job. You will also need a reamer (a used one is about $70) or have the job
done for you for $80, this is the way that I would go. I did an article on
rebuilding the front suspension if interested.
