Did you have the swivel axles reamed to match the new king pins?

I have fitted 15 shims (.008 ea) on the top of the kingpin and the extra movement of approx. 1/8th inch does not change.  Yes the big brass washer is installed.  The only parts new to this car in this assembly is the kingpins.  The other side has no vertical play with no shims.  Any ideas?
