I just had new kingpin bushings installed and reamed at a local machine shop. Nice job with just a push fit on the pin. I have a 3/4 ton 54 chevy. In the kit comes the bottom bearing consisting of 5 pieces. I have not found what the upper clearance should be in relation to the axel. The shop manual doesn't show a shim there. I have .013" on the pass. side and .018" on the drivers side. All the weight is carried on the lower bearing so do you need a shim on top? Id like to assemble the truck this weekend but if I need to order kingpin shims I guess its up to you alls answers.
Thanks Sharon
