Dunno Pard,

But me thinks you're blowin' a wee bit of smoke.

Chevrolet hasn't used king pins on thier light duty trucks since 1954 and have implemented upper and lower ball joints in all 2 and 4 wheel drive models since 1955 forward.

Don't think ya quite have a firm grasp on what "cupping", which results from a bad balance issue, is either.

'Course I could be wrong; I've only been working on the goofy things since the early fifties and just didn't take time to "Google" it to see what the all-knowing 'Net has to offer. :>)

Better idea: Walk into to your local GM dealer and order a set of king pins for an '86 4X4. Take special note of the expression on the partman's face.

Allan
