King pin lift mrk3

Postby Teamidris » Tue Jun 10, 2025 4:34 pm

Last year the RH king pin had too much lift which was mega odd because it hadn’t done many thousand miles since replaced. So I replaced the thrust bearing while noting the old one felt okay. While welding the inner wing this year I noticed it was back :o So I have just changed the upper shim by about a mm.
My question is; I’ve never had this happen on anything or this 190. Anyone else had this mysterious change in dimensions?
