What are my options to fix this? It's slightly wallowed left and right, but not too bad. Just want to make it round again.

D60 Driver side perch. Pin hole is wallowed out
- Thread starter MTBLAZER89

Actually, i think they came like that. My D60 is like that and i've seen several others and they were all EXACTLY the same. I don't like it myself and i'm thinking about making a new perch and welding it in place of the factory one.

I know I could buy a new perch. I was thinking of welding it up around the edge, and then redrilling it? It's not bad, but with the 52's and long shackles my lateral movement is already enough I just want everything tight.
I have drilled the perch holes out round. Built the spring bolt pin head up with weld & ground it back down to fit the new perch hole. Prolly not the best way, but I was broke & it got me back in the road.
Pics? Mine is out of round a bit too.

Id have to agree. Seen several that were slightly ob-long. Just pulled one a week ago, same deal.

Could always run a grade 8 bolt and just grind the head to fill the whole completely.
factory slotted a bit. i have seen atleast 6-8 dana 60's i have owned and all like this. no problems with use at all for me.
Ive always pulled the spring to the outer edge of the hole. My truck leans a bit to the D/S, I wonder if makes a difference going to the inside of the hole.
