Re: front end work: LONG

Jeff,

When I had some of your symptoms I rebuilt the front end too.
After installing new kingpins, and seeing the old pins and
bushings didnot look all that bad, I checked the fulcrum pins
that attach the kingpins to the a-arms. The threads in the
a-arms were damn near gone -- rusted. Best check these before
you reassemble.
