King pin clearances

[KBW]

Hi
I’m busy rebuilding my king pins and the machine shop will be machining washer/spacers to replace the fibre washes that were originally used.

My question is what the up down play that we need to bring this into spec.

Thanks

I would ask someone who knows a little bit more about rebuilding these-try "campingbox"-Greg

I would say TIGHT !

The workshop manual suggests using an end play of less than .006" without the seals installed. I have never machined special shims. The factory phenolic washers are often worn, so I will typically use a thin metal shim to bring them back into spec. Quite a bit of time goes into setting this up.

I would consider reading the manual before you continue any further.
