Oh, and I forgot. This is a reminder to Denis to grease the front end ever
so often.

So the old westy bus was getting kinda sloppy in the front end. I've
replaced center drag link pivot and tie rod ends. It felt better but still
wandered a bit down the road. I took it to the alignment place and they set the
toe-in but proclaimed that the king pins are too worn to really align it
properly. They recommended replacement. I took the bus to John Pierce (now in
Converse TX) and he informs me that he can't do bus kingpins because it
requires a special "reamer" for the bushings thats larger than the ones for
Type 1.
I'm surely not the first to face this dillema. My question is, what does
everyone else do? Send the spindle assemblies off to someone in distant lands?
or is there someone in Texas that can do this specialized machine work?
