[Healeys] King Pin with needle bearings

[Bob Spidell]

What's the advantage to these?

I know, it should be obvious, but I've heard it's not a particularly 
good idea to use roller bearings where the parts don't rotate 
completely; i.e. the parts rock back and forth on the same limited 
surface, possibly wearing grooves (if the parts/bearings don't rotate 
completely, it subjects one part of the bearing to the most wear). 
Specifically, I heard this about using needle roller bearings on cam 
rockers.
