king pins

installed new king pins, one side OK, the other side the pin has some play.one bushing slides in and out just using your finger. i think i can use lock tight to fix it but the pin has some play. is there some where you can buy over size bushing with out having to buy the whole king pin set? 53 3100:chevy:

Re: king pins

To properly use an oversize bushing you would have to have the spindle machined so that you could fit an oversize bushing. A production machine shop could make a bronze bushing in an oversize and then machine the spindle to fit but if you drove the truck long enough to need to replace the king pins again you would have to have another set of bushings made for that side.
