Good afternoon from Germany: I would also like to renew all pins and bushings at the front axle of my 1937 Sedan # 1092
Especially the top bushings are really worn out and there is no chance to lubricate them properly - see attached photo.
Can you get me an adress where I can buy some new bushings and pins?
Highly apprciate Your help

From the model # you have a 37 120 4 door sedan. It has an independent front suspension thus n o leaf springs with the trunnion block which was last used in 1936.
The upper bushings you picture are rubber thus are not lubricated. Rebuilding the front end by replacing all bushings and king pins will restore it to new car performance. The steering on '37 is unusually light and shimmy free at all times. In the center of the front crossmember is a center steering pin/bushing which is usually worn as it has no means of lubrication. All these parts are available as kits from Kanter Auto products www.kanter.com
