Is there a way to check if I need new kingpins in oversize? Do I only need those when the old one is already loose and rotating in the suspension arm?

if a standard pin is an easy push or a light tap with a hammer then either oversize pin or shrink the eye with a weld

or use a standard pin but before fitting it drill a hole in the side of the lug that it passes through and tap a thread for a 8mm bolt too lock the pin in place
