When I took the front apart on my zook, one of the kingpins had snapped. I ordered some and they have arrived but are a different size to the ones that came out. Not a huge difference but I am no expert and don't want to stuff anything or have a dangerous car on my hands when I am done. So... Is the difference in measurements a big deal?  They were measured using a ruler so to the nearest 1/2 mm but definitely different... Cheers, Hamish. |

It should be fine however you may need a few shims to set bearing preload properly |

Finding the shims was the hardest part but I now have a heap coming from Roadless gear so should be fine. I got 4 new Kingpins by mistake (their mistake, not mine) so will put 4 new ones in all shimmed up properly. Cheers. |

Not knowing any better, could the difference in size be due to wear? Or are they just not made to exacting tolerances? |

They don't look as well machined as the original ones and I don't really know what surfaces are the important ones so asked the question just to be sure. |
