Re: my kingpin came out a bit Surely with the grade nipple fitted it can't move?

Re: my kingpin came out a bit Ayjay if your king pin came out there's something really wrong. I'd suggest you change the arm as the eye at the end must be really worn to let a KP come loose and as it 'worked its way out' probably only enlarged the hole.

Re: my kingpin came out a bit And JDub, the grease nipple doesn't do anything. There's nothing 'holding' the KP in - its designed as a tight fit between the arm and the hub so friction holds it in place. It shouldn't be touching the screw cover at the bottom or the welch plug at the top.

Re: my kingpin came out a bit thanks guys ill check it properly , its strange why the k/p moved as it was a tight fit in the arm when i renewed it  i did check the gap and use the correct shims taskos but there is now a bit of play in the k/pin so i suspect the eye is worn  i,ll see if i can get an oversize k/p, altho the hole in the eye on the arm might be a bit oval?
