Default Front tires

Hello everyone, i was greasing my front bearings and i noticed that there is some play when you touch the tire like the something was loose or worn rubber bushings? Maybe its time to replace the bushings? Thanks

Sounds like its either the king pins, king pin bushinge, or bearings. I har the same problem and figured if I had to tear it all down I eould change all three which is what I did.

Common for king pins to go out, they hold the spindle so it can turn/steer.

I think its the kingpins, how do you take them off? I noticed a bolt with it on one side, and there was no cotter key on both sides, do they unthread?pound them out? Thanks

The king pin is basically a long bolt so just take the nut off and the pin will come out. The bushings are easy to knock out with a punch and hammer. If i remember correctly the pin is 11 mm in diameter so there is no substitute readily available meaning you have to purchase the king pins.

Many of them have a roll pin in them, but there is a roll pin in side the roll pin you have to take out first.
