You clearly have something in there. The hole that lets the grease out onto
the outside of the king pin is really small and so cloggs easily. Someone
may be able to suggest a way of clearing it without dissassembly but I
can't think how.
As for when the bushings need replacing there have been some good
discussions lately on the list. try the list archive at

Subject: Re: Grease fittings
Can anyone tell me what could be wrong with the top bushing area on my
offside sliding pillar that would not allow grease to go into the fitting
on
top of the pillar? I can pump grease into the near side one no problem;
and
I've unscrewed the off side zerk fitting and the fitting's clear. What
could
be stopping it up so that the handle of the grease gun feels like it's
hitting a solid block? Could I hurt anything by putting a pneumatic grease
gun on it and throwing the pressure to it? I like to keep them nice and
greasy, even though I know that road grit can turn the stuff into lapping
paste. And when the bushings need replacement, what's the approximate cost
of the Greg Solow 100,000 mile treatment? Thanks!!!
