Default Kingpin Bearings

Thanks Rob....I think there is about 5000 miles since a full rebuild on the jeep which included new kingpin bearings & races....I just wanted to see if I can maintain the bearings longer if I pumped in fresh synthetic grease via the cap bolts. Last spring when the front tires were off I did swing the knuckle back and forth...it was very smooth. I remove the front axle rear hub/knuckle bolts and squeeze in synthetic grease every 2-3 weeks then lock in the hubs for a while so the grease can be flung all over....I think this helps as well.....not sure though.

Any idea the size of the 67' M38A1 brake shoes?....front axle is labelled as Dana 25.

Regards,

lesk
