The king pins were replaced sometime in its life. Stock bushings are brass and require a reaming too to install correctly.
Home garage mechanic can change out the nylon ones without special tools.
Nylon bushings do not have the wear life of the brass. replace it with either brass or nylon. Your choice.
Either a simple no special tools or a trip to napa to have them reamed if you do not have a reamer.
