Whoa and I thought I was overcharged at €30 for both.
thank you Peter and Toshi.
Yes, I saw the one on Ebay.
But I need the right hand one.
Great if either of you could help me out.

Thanks for trying!

wow, i've just joined to check out the kingpin situation. having trawled through this thread carefully i find myself feeling slightly dispirited.
for every solution there seems to be problems and i dont have the knowledge or engineering skills a lot of you guys have.
even if you do manage to carry out the repair it seems you have to repeat the ordeal in a year's time anyway.
is there any such thing as a ball joint conversion?
Don't despair. It's easy to get already overhauled exchange or even brand new units. Most owners feed them regularly with grease, which wouldn't have happened in the old days. Mileages are often quite low and although I probably shouldn't even think this, with the exemption from MOT, we have a bit of leeway regarding the exact amount of play we can get away with.[emoji4]. So get out there and give it some Welly. [emoji4]
Here's something I've got Sean which seems to confirm what Peter has said. I can't find what the part numbers are but it says 2 at the top with the seal and 1 at the bottom.

D3.14 Steering Knuckle
The kingpin grease zerk on my steering knuckle matches that shown in the @Paolo66 D3.14 PDF attachment, w/ a single zerk on the moving part, NOT like that shown in the @fiat500 image, w/ two zerk fittings, one each on the stationary parts.
Both of my king-pin/hub assemblies have the "2-grease-nipple" arrangement, which are given a fairly regular greasing. Having done quite a lot of king-pin/hub overhaules when I worked in a Fiat garage (many, many years ago), I know what a bitch of a job it is if you don't have the correct very long reamer, so I cheat. I have a colleague in North Somerset who DOES have the correct facilities, so I get him to overhaul the units for me---with 2 grease-nipples and the correct bronze bushes. I will concede that it is not a 'cheap' job, but they are done correctly.The kingpin grease zerk on my steering knuckle matches that shown in the @Paolo66 D3.14 PDF attachment, w/ a single zerk on the moving part, NOT like that shown in the @fiat500 image, w/ two zerk fittings, one each on the stationary parts.
The kingpin and the rest of the steering stuff looks new on my vehicle.
My zerk fittings were greased by me this weekend. It appears this was the first time these parts have been greased. It appears that very few miles have been added since the vehicle was completely restored, including adding these new steering parts.
