Will,
A good idea is to have the kingpins hard chromed, expensive but worthwhile.
There are bushes available made from some sort of nylon type material, our
local Mog dealer supplies these. Trouble is finding a machine shop that can
deal with reaming these. I eventually gave up and went and bought a set of
phosphor-bronze bushes from the local bearing supplier.
Cheers
Steve Moore
