well, finally got all the shims and the new kingpins are installed, wow what a difference, steering with one finger versus both arms and a leg.
new problem found in the process.
the large bolts with grease nipples that hold the upper control arms and steering knuckle support have some play in them. it does not effect tracking, nor is noticable at highway speed...however, am I driving a time bomb? and does anyone know of what these are actually called or a part number? my green book labels it succintly "bolt" but they do not look like anything at the local parts store and searches of parts suppliers does not identify them in any discernable manner.
always an adventure.
thanks in advance.
