Yesterday I adjusted the wheel bearings and the left king pin. I had to remove shims to get the left bearing tight but the right one was just a loose nut the locking washer wasen't bent right. The left king pin bearing required 0.071" of shiming to be added to tension it corectly and when they were added and tightened the oil leak at the back of the nuckle stoped.
I'm just back from the rego check and with the work done on the steering the blitz drove well, it was a pleasent drive.
