I allready sent you a reply on another site, but I want to make sure you get it so I am sending it on this one also. I fixed the problem! I inadvertently through out the swivel pin railko bushing washers. the washers have holes in them and are about 1/16" thick. consiquntly the amount aof play that I had in both housings. I was able to slip them in without any trouble with the majority of the assembly still intack. I took her for a good long test drive this morning and she handles like a dream. For the first time in four years the steering is tight and my michelens should not suffer the ill effects of worn king pins, not to mention the fact that the swivel balls don't leak any more. Peter, thank you for your sincerity in helping me tackel this problem. It is people like you who make owning a land rover that much more enjoyable. Good luck in all you do. sincerly, Todd Weiner, U.S. Navy
