Been a long time since I have been able to get on, I'm back, I need help.
What started out as a little vibration when above 45 -50 mph has turned into
a big deal. Tires and wheels all balanced, wheel bearings replaced,
u-joints replaced, toe-in checked and adjusted, upper fulcrum bushings
replaced, lower inner wishbone bushings replaced. Vibration improved after
toe-in adjustment, however, still there. On a rocking test of the wheel,
noticed a very slight movement at the kingpin lower end. Upon removal from
the car, I find that I can not get any side to side movement at the kingpin,
but I found when I removed the lower fulcrum pin that the forward threads
are worn out on one side. The grease was rock hard on the forward end, and
upon inspection of the wishbone I cant really tell if there is any damage to
the threads, etc. Is there a way to check these threads, (can't find thread
chaser (bolt etc.) that size.??? or would it be better to just replace the
wishbone??? Anyone got one.
