Kingpin bushing installation..
I'm pressing in my new kingpin bushings into the spindles and need to know where to stop... Does the bushing seat flush where the spindle meets the axle? ... or do I leave room for the small ring that came with the kit that fits over the pin and (I'm guessing) inside the spindle?

The ( RETAINING BOLT///PIN ) will determine how deep it seats! There is a slot in the King Pin that the retaining bolt locks it in!
Well they really don't seat, more like locating the King Pin height.

I just looked at a set of bushings pressed in, and they were pressed in flush , at first I
would have thought the same thing as you , but I would think that if they where not you
may not have enough ( THREADS ) for the upper and lower caps!
