I've put it off long enough but time is come to replace the leaking seals on the swivel boxes.
I'll be doing the bearings and seals in there at the same time, I have but one question.....
When I put the new king pin bearings in will that affect the amount of shims I need for correct adjustment?
Currently the front boxes are running none top/bottom on the left and one on the top right sides.

Hmm ok anyone got a set of shims for me?
Re: Swivel box shimming, 94 safari
just re fit the shims you have where they came from then check the pull load as in the shop manual,
I just did that in the three time I've changed king pin bearings, no problems so far
