3rdowner Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hello all readers. Cutting to the chase: I had by car aligned yesterday and the technician noted that my King Pins are sloppy and should be serviced. I referred to my OEM shop manual and did not se any means to adjust same. Seeking advice (i.e., replace, adjust, etc.)? As always, thanks in advance, the wealth of knowledge on the forum is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdowner Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) PS: I forgot to take my alignment specs to the shop so I called the folks a Bob's Automobilia (sp?) and they sent specs via text message. Thanks you to the folks at Bob's, I will always contact them first when seeking parts.

Bhigdog Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 There are typically no adjustments to be made on a king pin's "fit". If they are a loose fit they need to be replaced along with the related bushings. The new bushings are usually reamed to size after being pressed into place. Actually not as bad a job as it sounds..............Bob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
