king pin play (oh no, not another king pin thread!)

["John C. Gottstein" <gottstein@erols.com>]

Hi,
   It appears that I've got a little up and down play in the passenger side
kingpin.  I've been reading all of the past posts about this in the archive,
and it sounds like a real pain in the butt to fix, but my questions are...

what will happen if I keep driving with the kingpin in this condition? and
Is there anything I can do to at least reduce the play?

Thanks a lot,
