New king pin fitting

[Oxford Jack]

Hi Jack

Just a thought.

Is there 10 thou vertical clearance at all positions of the stub axle?  It is easy to make the shim washer wedged by accident and or have the bearing face of the king pin eye not completely flat and 90 degree to the eye.  If so the shim will bind at some points but not others.

Cheers

Howard

Thanks for the thought Howard. There seemed to be similar clearance in all positions, when the kingpin was in place but before the cotter was tightened That thrust washer I had not thinned, so it should have been flat as supplied. 
Regards Jack
