Hey Guys,
I have got a Torringtom roller bearing setup to replace the phosphor  
bronze bushes in the top of the king pin to trunnion, that I'm going  
to fit on my BJ8.
I'm guessing you fit them dry, with a hand full of shims, set a  
minimal end float (around a thou or so) by adding and removing shims,  
then once you have required end float dry, pull apart and repack with  
grease and reassemble.
Is that correct??
Any grease grade/ type comments?? Clearance comments?
Hoping it will help low speed manouverability with lots of neg camber,  
6in wheels and Penrite steering molasses in the steering box....
Best
Chris
