While stripping down front end of 1956 beetle, noticed that out of four link pins three seem okay but one is really worn.
Are these bushes meant to be replaced as a set of four or can one be done at a time?
King pins seem okay too,
Cheers

is it the pin itself that is worn or the bush??
bushes should probably be replaced as a pair and have them reamed out to match.
see.... air and water do mix 😉

I would replace all at the same time as the effort involved to remove n replace will be doubled when the other wear out

make sure you use a bit of wire to remove the old hard grease from the galleries

do both the king and link pins at the same time
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
