Topic: 37 King pins


Zero    -- 06-02-2019 @ 1:38 PM
  On 37's I read that the king pin bushing goes between the bottom of the spindle and the axle. My question is where would I put a shim if needed? does it go on top of the bushing or below it? Also, are the castle nuts on the front spindles and the back axles torqued to a certain level?


As always, your knowledge is very much appreciated.

  HI John
it should go under the bearing, to keep it firm . so no up and down play,
if my memory serves me right,
hope this helps, 37 RAGTOPMAN

  I agree, under the bearing.
