Re: king pins

To properly use an oversize bushing you would have to have the spindle machined so that you could fit an oversize bushing. A production machine shop could make a bronze bushing in an oversize and then machine the spindle to fit but if you drove the truck long enough to need to replace the king pins again you would have to have another set of bushings made for that side.
