The kingpins are relatively easy compared to the upper pin bushings.
Just make sure you have the correct size reamer/installer tool for the bushings. I bought a vintage one from ebay fairly cheap. Is the play side to side, or up and down. If up and down only, t may just be the thrust bearing or need another shim. If side to side then it's probably a worn bushing.

Thanks, Kev. The movement is side to side. I found a couple of videos to watch and things make a bit more sense. It would seem that I likely need new bushings.

Might seem trivial, but I fixed my front dome light switch. The threaded portion came loose from the switch body. The tabs where it was swaged over broke off. My dad is a retired tool and die maker and he made a new threaded piece. It works great.
It really wouldn’t have been a big deal to put in a new generic switch, but I love that Dad and I were able to save this one. Especially, since it matches the style of the two switches for the rear dome light.
