I posted a message about this same problem last week and it was never really
resolved. One of my kingpins has *no* shims and has a tiny amount of
vertical play. Adding shims will increase the play. Does anyone know if
replacement thrust washers are available? Guess I should ask Peter. :-)
I also asked about the torque spec for the trunnion retaining nut. I
finally found it in one of my books - 40 lb. ft.
