KINGPIN BEARINGS! PLEASE READ! was created by Skinhead
Now ive got your attention, can someone help me with my kingpin bearings? I havnt done anything like that before. It was advised on my MOT today as a swivel joint, the lad says my wheel has slight play top to bottom and also leaking grease from the swivel. I said "could it be the kingpin bearings" he said "no thats somewhere else, this is the swivel joint, the ball at end of axel" so i thought id ask on here. I would also like help fitting the new 1s or a very detailed video.
Thanks :)

You will be pleased to know you are correct and your MOT lad is wrong.

The seal that will be leaking is the small one inside the axle, you get one of those with the Kingpin Bearing kit.
