Hi Stephen,
There is a grease fitting on the bottom of the king pin with a drilling up
the middle of the king pin to the bushed area of the lower bush.

This has probably come up before, and I have a vague memory of 
someone complainig about it, but here's my question:
How the heck is the lower kingpin bushing lubricated, other than upon 
assembly? Is the grease suppposed to dribble down from the upper 
bushing? Intuitively, one would expect another grease fitting.
