Dave,
I have always used the oiler on my Morgan. The car has the original king
pins and bushing and is approaching 70,000 miles. I am just starting to feel
some shimmy in the front end so it is about time for a rebuild. Have heard
that the hard chroming route is a good way to extend the life of the king
pins. Much of the wear has to do with what kinds of roads you drive on.
Living in Atlanta, I don't have to deal with other than smooth, pot hole
free roads.
