alright guys, a quick question. about the king pins on my sj.

ive got a fair amount of play in the nsf king pin. are they shimmed? if so i should be able to remove a shim or two to take up the slack?

failing that does anyone know a good supplier?

cheers

Should be shimmed unless some one done them already. Do you get your parts from your local motor factor? he should be able to get them

I work at my local motor factor lol. phoning around our suppliers as we speak

hopefully the shims are in there. save a bit of dosh hopefully

I wouldn't even bother removing shims to keep them going having done it to mine and having them fail a few K later once I had lost all the shims I removed!

Once the races have started wearing its time to change them anyway.

Some decent timkin bearings were only £15 so l'm sure you could find some cheaper ones.

awesome gonna call brt bearings shortly as well. is there a part number for the timkin bearings?

15x42x14.25 metric taper roller bearing 30302

Just ask what brands they supply and choose a price that suits you.

As per usual more you pay better you get.

Sure the bearing company will be able to help. Suzuki wanted £120 for a full set!

I figured bigger tyres means more stress so went for the best they had.

yeah thats fair, cheers for your help dan. very much appreciated!

I'm cheap so I always pull the shims to get a bit more life out of them.

Suzuki use KOYO bearings as standard

yeah ill see how my bank account feels about the price otherwise its shim removal time! lol

Steve who do you work for? I only know one company over your way
