Default Re: King Pin differences

Just used a set from Bratton's on someone's car and they were of excellent quality, even the bushings. As far as I now there is only one manufacturer currently. I highly recommend that you have the spindle bearings pin honed by a machinist rather than use a reamer, it is relatively cheap and you won't wonder why your reamed bushings have noticeable clearance after a few thousand miles.

Show the machinist the parts in proper assembly orientation, including where the bearing goes, so the proper area of the spindle bolt can be measured for the honing.
