Here's a DIY solution for the sticky kingpins that works great and saves you the hassle of ordering new ones.

Remove the kingpin, and stick the very tip of it in a Dremel or drill. You want to insert as little as possible while allowing it to spin true.

Get some metal polish (I use Brasso) on a soft cloth, and with the kingpin spinning in the Dremel, pinch the kingpin with the cloth on the spot that has the polish. Work it up and down, oh baby. Then let it dry and repeat the spinning and pinching with a section of clean cloth. Spray a tiny amount of WD-40 on a cloth and wipe it on the kingpin.

Super smooth action, check it out.

lol, true......

good work man, I might have to give this a go. I normal sand the (stock) buggers down with some 600+ wetndry. Then top it off with steel wool.

But I'll give your way a shot, got one of my mr02's on blocks at the moment....

Thanx superfly,

I know someone would post spidey's nemesis after my question. Who knew it would be you?

Can't you like grease the king pins too?

nah, grease is not a good thing in exposed area's, grit will just build up.

I forgot about that..then maybe tefalon lube (sp?). its basically a slippry "dry" lube. It woudn't get as much dirt but it would make the king pins mad slippery...

or try looking at bicycle chain lube
