I haven't been into the front suspension lately, but IIRC, there is a
bronze washer under the Trunnion. There are also some shims on the top
of the king pin as well (look like really thin washers), but at the
moment I don't recall their precise position.
If your kingpin isn't drilled for the cotter, it's probably from one of
the newer suspension kits designed to use a nylock nut in place of the
castle nut. Mine have the nylocks on them, and I haven't had any
problems.

Should there be a washer under the castle nut on top of the king pin? My
Sprite has a bronze washer on one side and no washer on the other. The
king pins are not drilled for cotter pins either. Also should there be a
washer under the castle nut on the top trunnion pin? Gary '61 Sprite
