RUI , if theres play on the kingpin can you add grease in the nippel? or wont it solve the play issue? wouldnt it be easyer to replace the split suspention with a bay ones that uses balljoints?

**edit**Farhaad you will just need the k&l pins and then just have to speak to (forgot name of guy in CPT that does work on acvw's) and he should be able to do all the reaming for the bushings.

Rui would you be able to import a reamer for this and at what price?

Just get a recon set of stub axles with new king and link pins installed from Volksie World, I went down this route about 3 years ago, I think the cost was R650 plus returning the old spindles

R650 is a bargain, I can bet you will not get it done for twice that now.
