If your in a garage and they don't know about the kingpin bearings, my advice is to use a different garage. They Carnt do a proper job if they don't have a clue!
thank you everyone for the advice i have phoned the garage and gave them this information and have been told to leave it with them.if no joy by the weekend i will be taking my jinmy to another garage i will keep you all posted and thank you for the king pin instructions i am greatfull to you all.

I agree, if a garage cannot diagnose a kingpin bearing failure and a stuck brake piston / slider then I would be very suspicious of them
