It's a slip fit. That is, about .002" to .003". A typical press fit is size for size to .001".

All kingpin bushings have to be reamed to fit. Take your spindles, new bushings, and new kingpins to a good machine shop for fitting. Don't forget to drill new grease holes in the bushings when in place.

Is there a press fit on the King pins? If so, what is the press fit?
