A Quick Question About Crails

BaDger555.5 · 09-21-2008, 11:49 PM

Hello! I just ordered Crails with JimZ bushings, and am wondering about the kingpin. Is it possible to switch it to avoid the allen head? Has anyone done this? ......or should i just keep them stock? ...I searched, but couldnt find this anywhere.......Sorry! Thanks!

i had never thought about it but i just looked at my evo and it looks like the allen head wouldnt fit if flipped

Go to home depot and get two fine thread hex bolts for like 15 cents. Grade 8 if you can find it. Grade 6 is fine though.

what way do the grades go? i can find grade 9, but almost nothign else.

wouldnt grade 9 be better than 8?

Never seen grade 9 @ my local lowes/home depot. The kingpin that comes with crails is metric 8.8 (about the same as a grade 5 SAE). 10.9 metric is about the same as grade 8 SAE.

Good luck
