The Kingpins on our new to us 54 Cavalier are noisy. I had that problem with a 47 and fresh grease solved the problem. Using my pneumatic grease gun, I could not get them to take the grease. I guess it has been so long since it was greased that the grease got hard and is blocking fresh lubricant. Was wondering if I could use carb cleaner and then try again? If it still won't take fresh grease. what size do I look for in new fittings? I realize the kingpins may be bad but I want to get fresh grease in them before throwing in the towel.


What kind of noise do they make? Squeaking? Grinding? Just curious, got no answers for you. I'm the sort that would probably pull everything apart and clean, check and replace any worn parts. And of course paint everything before reassembling. LOL
