Yes.

Go to a shop that is specialized in MGs and has the correct Spridget
reamer. If you can't find one, send the the kingpins to Apple Hydraulics
to have them done. I forgot how much this costs. Don't have your shocks
rebuilt there though. I have one out of five that still works after not
much use. Ask Barney G. for more horror stories.
Do NOT have the kingpins reamed with anything but the correct tool no matter
what they tell you at Bubba's Machine Shop & Cat Declawing!
