Bushes - Reaming King Pins & rear springs
#2
When you press a new bush into an old eye, the bush will be deformed by the axle eye. The only way to get each bush the correct size and in alignment with each other is to press them into the eyes and then In-line ream them. Idealy you need the special in-line reamer - like this but wince when you see the price:-

Most of us ream with an ordinary reamer, but it does not give the best results. If the bushes were supplied oversize to take into account the "possible" shrinkage, then the king pins would not be a good fit and the job done again 10,000 miles or so later.

Its the same for your rear springs - Alignment!
