How many take the weight off the spindles on front axle with a jack before they grease the kingpins?

Every 3rd time or so, I do. Have to left the rear everytime to get grease in the spring bushings....bad Bluebird design for those years.

To make it stand up we used some kind of "stuff" that was real stiff.
I think that is the "grease" they are talking about.

Is that true Prevo Ron.

Oh, yeah, that. I remember that -- and having hair too.

Our ACF Brill had double parallel springs front and rear with lots of grease fittings for the pins and threaded bushings.

What's a kingpin? The mechanic mentioned them. Not sure what they look like.

I realized that I didn't have a picture of a kingpin. So I googled it, and found a picture. Happy to help
