Thanks. I see that both bushes are indeed installed upside down. No wonder =
its been hard to steer for years.=20
I understand the logic on the bottom bush, but I wouldn't think it very eff=
ective.=20

Hi Ken,=20
If you cannot feel any play in the bushes without lubricant...i.e. dry... T=
hey will be quite satisfactory.=20
In my experience correct installation of the bushes is even more important =
than the absolute best fit.=20
The top bush must be installed so that the grease ways are open at the top =
so that the thrust washers are lubricated and obviously the hole in the bus=
h must line up with the grease nipple.=20
The bottom bush should also be installed with the grease ways open at the t=
op so that any excess lubricant accumulates in the gap above the bush and c=
ontinues to provide lubrication over time through the influence of gravity.=
Again obviously the hole in the bush must line up with the grease nipple.=
=20
You would not believe the number of incorrectly installed bushes I have com=
e across.=20

After the king pins are reamed, how can one inspect that a good job has bee=
n done. I think I can reverse the king pin, insert it into the upper bushin=
g and try to rock it, but what about the lower bushing?=20
If I was at my old job, I would have to use a granite surface plate and a d=
ial indicator and probably still have to make a fake pin.=20
