I thought I had King Pin wear in my 54 Cavalier as I get a little motion top to bottom but side to side is tight.

I bought a King Pin set from Kantors which includes the bushings and the thrust ball bearing but havent gotten up the nerve to replace them yet. I'm not sure the alignment is fully up to snuff.

I get some steering wander when the road is groovy.

It appears once you start the project you have to finish and you may need some special tooling to remove and then replace the bushings and then you will need adjustable reamers.
