King pins
in the last couple of days my '38 has started to "wobble" sometimes at low speeds. My king pins have some slack so I'll start by replacing them rather than install a steering damper. I've done a search on them and see that here have been some undersized pins sold. I also see the price varies from about $40 to about $150. Am I right in suspecting the lower priced kits are of lesser quality? Even if a cheap kit fits, are the pins and bushings durable? I don't mind paying for quality but would prefer not to pay $150 for a $40 kit. If you have been down this road I would appreciate your experience/results.
As a side observation, It has been in the high 20s these same days, I'm wondering if my tolerances were on the loose side anyway and the colder weather has shrunk them to the point of too much slack?
