Kingpin inspection Questions
Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2017 8:39 am
New guy with a lot of questions. Thanks for any help you can provide!
Going through making sure I have a totally safe and drivable truck for my wife before I send her out on her own with the 69. I am going to do a Disk brake conversion on the front soon. While I am doing that, what specs or process does everyone use to determine if the kingpins are in spec or "good"? Feel for some play? How much play? Is there a way to determine in advance of having it mostly apart? I have to order everything on line and get items delivered to my location. So I would like to have everything on hand before I start the disk conversion project.
