Ok, so the bits are here.

Now, what criteria do i use to determine if:

the fulcrum pin (the part that holds the Kingpin to the A arm right?) 
is bad, or
the bushing that it rides in in the Kingpin is bad or
the bushings that it rides in in the A arms are bad?

Currently there is a LOT of slop at that joint.

Also, what criteria do i use to determine if:

The Kingpin is bad
Or the upper and lower bushings that the Kingpin rides in are bad?

Overall, everything looks pretty good, rotors, backing plates, A arms, 
calipers.  Gotta spend a coupla hours in the blast cabinet to see 
what's really there then I'll get back to ya..  ;-)
