A7 Kingpins
#3
A word of warning. The text puts the spacing washer on top of the axle eye, when it should sit below the axle on top of the flange on the bottom bush, as in fig 1. I use a hardened thrust washer here, which I size on the lathe by soldering it to the old bush so I can turn it down square, and go for a gap at the top of the axle eye of < .002".

Also, he describes "driving in" the kingpins, which implies a degree of force being required. I was taught the lightly oiled pin should be a smooth sliding fit in the bushes, such that it can be inserted into the stub axle on the bench with your little finger.
