Kingpins and trunnions

[davedale]

I have had an MoT advisory for my 1964 Mk. III Riley 1.5 of some wear in the lower trunnions / kingpins, despite my greasing of them every 1500 miles. I could not detect any wear but the MoT tester found some wear by using a long lever to tension the suspension. I shall have to deal with the problem at some time. May I ask for advice from fellow 1.5 owners – how do you deal with wear in your trunnions and kingpins and where, if available, do you purchase replacements? Many thanks.

Hello Dave

These lower trunnion are shared with the Morris Minor and are readily available thankfully.  




The club may have these or ESM Spares offer them as well. Remember these are trunnion are handed so if only buying one side buy the correct side.
