Default Re: Waking up a Sleeping Beauty, 1934 5 window

You have it right. R is passenger side and L is driver side. If, like I did, you forget to check and install them incorrectly, the brake rod connections won't line up properly. After getting over my embarrassment, I unassembled everything and swapped the pins.

If you are installing new king pins, you should also install and reem new bushings to provide a snug and proper fit so there's no slop and the pins rotate smoothly. This is easier done with the spindles off the car.
