I thought I saw a posting about this subject recently but could find it
in my trash folder so here goes.
I've purchased a set of rebuilt stub axles from The Roadster Factory and
I have a question about reassembly. Shouldn't the Distance Tube that
rides in the lower bushing and gets clamped between the two A-Arms be
slightly longer than the width of the Kingpin. So that the Distance Tube
is what gets clamped between the A-Arms not the Kingpin itself. This
way the Kingpin is still free enough to pivot on that Distance Tube. I
measured mine and they are within .002" of each other. I would expect a
greater difference.
