Re: King pins
The best-Find a shop with a Sunnen hone, with the mandrel that will reach through both top and bottom bushings- This will insure that the two bushings line up.
I fit the bushings to the king pin so that the pin is tight, just able to push in by hand.
They will be loose enough function, and last longer.
A reamer will work, but press one bushing at a time. On the first bushing, press the new one in, use the least worn side of the other old bushing as a guide to line up the cut on the new one. Then do the second bushing using the one you reamed first as a guide.
The first set I did for someone else, I gave them .001 clearance- he was mad at me, too loose.
