Kingpins knackered was created by Justin83
Hey everyone, since fixing my death wobble with jimny bits shims 4 weeks ago it has gradually slowly but surely returned uuuurgh...
I am guessing I'm right in thinking my kingpins are shot due to the fact there was zero wobble for a week or more after shim for fitment?

Also do I need the whole kingpin or just the bearings? Been quoted 50 pounds per kingpin and 30 per bearing?

The shims are mainly to be used when replacing the Kingpin bearings to take up any additional wear in the system that is not fixed by replacing the bearings.
To me you can just replace the Kingpin Bearings and put a shim in and not bother replacing the Kingpins themselves
Kingpin Bearing kits are here
