I've got some vertical freeplay between my steering knuckle and the king pin carrier: about 0.48mm on the right hand side, and about 0.38mm on the left hand side. Is this acceptable? I've leafed through my manuals and none of them mention anything usefull about it..

Also, should I/do I need to replace my king-pin carrier pins frow looking at this amount of scoring on it?



Cheers
