Title: King Pin Installation
Post by: plumer46 on November 01, 2008, 02:27:38 PM
Hi

I am installing the front suspension on my FE Ute, I am not sure which way the King Pins and bolts go, does the bottom nut on the king pin and grease nipples face to front or rear.

I am not sure what is Left and Right re the King Pin assemblies, could someone assist me and possibly a picture of an assemblied front end, the manual does not clearly state the difference.

Regards

John G ???

John - page 54 of the manual shows the correct way to install all parts. The king pin is installed with its grease nipples to the front. The lower bolt is inserted from the front with the nut going on the back. The upper bolt is inserted from the back with the nut on the front.

Hope this helps
