Mike all the spacers are the same from the BN2 thru the mid BJ8. You must
have the bearing spacer in there to give extra strength to the spindle. We
have seen some spindles crack on cars that the spacers are missing.
The reamers are very hard to find for the king pins we have one the we have
had for many years. You can send us your spindles and we will clean, install
new bushings and machine to size. We also can assemble and adjust the upper
trunions for you. The shims that come in the kits usually are not the
correct ones to adjust.
