It is not uncommon for the eye in the I beam where the king pin goes through to become worn. When assembled, even with a new pin, it makes it feel like the pins are worn and loose when it is movement between the pin and I beam you are feeling. The I beams can be bored and bushed$$$ or a replacement axle will need to be found. If all is in good shape and lubed regularly king pins will last a very long Time.
