I didn't want to replace the kingpins because everything seemed to move nicely but I knew I would get loud boos from people who know how to do this restoring thing. When I went to take them out, two things caught my attention. 1st the dust shield said 1 1/8. Why?? Secondly, it had 3 shims on each side. Is that bad? I alerted to these issues when the pins came out like butta. What do guys think who have done this. Did I just get lucky and have good kingpins already or are these signs that when it was last done, they went with some sort of oversized pin? | | |
