Thread: 27 chevy p/u

I've had king pin jobs that have been a bit harder to steer afterwards and they got better after a few times around the block. The only thing I could come up with was the tighter tolerances of new parts. I generally use stainless inserts on the medium duty up trucks and they are much tighter than a bronze bushing. But they last a lot longer as well.

i just got back from the store and it has loosened up almost back to the way it was before.
no bump steer
no wandering on crowned roads
potholes dont do anything untoward.
i never did have a speed wobble problem.

i appreciate your concern and i wish you were here to take a good look at what exactly i am running.
yours is the 1st negative comment i have received from anyone
be it the internet or my many professional mechanic buddies.
i am NOT saying you are wrong
but i do wish you could take a peek in person.
