I recently finished putting new leaf springs in my MG, and it now rides at the proper height (and then some). I'm thinking of submitting an article on how to do it to BCF or the MG Experience; would anyone be interested in it, or is it considered too minor of a job to explain?
Yesterday I noticed the steering wheel points a few degrees off center; thinking I needed an alignment, I took it to a shop, only to have them very quickly tell me I need to replace the kingpins. (I should've checked myself, and saved a few hours.)
My question: should I redo the front suspension while replacing the kingpins? The whole shebang or just the bushings? Springs? I haven't noticed a problem with the front ride height, though I do hear some small klunks coming from the front...and the more I listen, the louder they seem to get!
This is a pity; I have to rebuild the carbs too.
