Got the control arms, springs out on my 55, king pins have a little play and the part that connects the 2 "A" arms together has quite a bit of play at the lower pivots. Before i do a full disassembly of the parts is there anything specific i should know? The manual isn't super clear (or maybe its me) on rebuilding, i'm used to ball joints, the king pin replacement looks straight forward enough but the rest i'm unfamiliar with.

Wards Riverside, would that be Montgomery Wards?

 

Wards Riverside would be Montgomery Wards.

 

Or better known as Monkey Wards

 

You are correct sir. My dad was an appliance repairman for them back in the late 50's and then went to Sears.

 

Your Dad must have had a lot of idle time on his hands, things were built to last back then and were made to be repaired instead of thrown away.
