It is good practice to not open a new topic every time that you post. You should add on to your original post by using the reply button and only open a new post when the subject has changed. I will post my answer in your original post so there is some continuity in the problem solving process.

Hi....I think you need to get your tires balanced by someone that knows what they are doing. I'd also break down the tires to inspect the inside to make sure there is no old puncture "sealant" rolling around in there. 1/16 vertical play in the wheels could just mean that the bearings need tightened a bit. I'd do a lot of checking the front end before considering rebuilding, maybe use a good front end alignment shop. "Do it yourself" has limitations. BT

52 Ford V8. think I need to replace my King Pin(s). have never done this before. no experience on that work (so far!). does the Coil Spring have to be removed? if so, what steps do I take? I have searched all over the internet and not able to find anything on that. I am 77 (so far....) and have worked/played with old cars for years, but never this; and this 52 Ford I just got is nice, except I cannot mosey along faster than 40mph (and it ain't a "T") any info/opinions/etc would definitely appreciated. stay safe thanks G&U
