The kingpin in that photo was not locked to the fulcrum pin with the usual
"cotter" pin. It was allowed to rotate on the fulcrum pin and the oval hole
worn in the end is the result. Clancy's design uses two bearings per fulcrum
pin instead of threads. The kingpin does not rotate on the fulcrum pin.
