Hi, I have installed new kingpin bushings and kingpins and had the bushings honed by a machine shop. And after trying all the compensating washers and even removing them altogether the spindle still locks up tight when torqued down to the 65 ft/lb spec.(it actually starts to drag around 50 ft/lb.) I have tried removing one of the thrust washers and torquing just for experiment and it finally was movable once torqued. I know I can't leave one of the thrust washers out so here I am asking for input. Can I replace the smooth flat thrust washer with a thinner one? or does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Jason
