Default Re: Reaming Bushings

I personally have done a good jobs and bad jobs on the cars I have owned. It is very disappointing after having gone through all that work and the king pins are too loose right from the get go! Roger on the king pins being out of round. There is no way to recover from poor repro king pins. Many years ago I did use an adjustable reamer. The knives could be adjusted by turning nuts above and below the knives. This way, you could gradually work your way to the final fit. I never have had luck with a fixed reamer going for the final fit in the first pass. Ed
