Thanks Grigg and Jerry! I really appreciate the reply.

I purchased a honing mandrel that's long enough to easily hone both bushings at the same time, assuring both bushings are sized in alignment. I will also bring those bushings to size with a very smooth finish. Thank you for that information.

My personal thought was to purchase the king pin set with the ball type thrust bearings. I can also imagine how the whole system would steer easier.

Thanks again for your thoughts. I'm no expert for sure. Just brave enough to get into trouble... Roll Eyes
