    The above drawing is to get grease on the load side of the kingpin

    normally when U grease the front end with the wheels on the ground

    the grease finds its way out the easiest way .... on the unloaded side of K/Pin and grease does not get to the load side of K/P (az much)

    Years ago we had KW that did not have power steering and  do as above the drivers sed it felt like power steering (for a few days)

  3. My 2 cents worth TAX free

    Repack with grease

    if a seal fails with oil in hub U only got a few minutes/hours before all oil gone n U could end up in a ditch

    with grease if seal fails U know U gunna need fix the problem sum time nex week/month

    We torque up front steer hubs F tight with a 2 foot bar while spinn n the wheel ... then back off 1/8th or quarter turn of nut

    recheck wheel for looseness by wobblin wheel on jack with daylight under tyre after U dun a run or 2

    they may B a good truck

    but so do all the other makers

    most of the Euro trucks not suitable for Australia ...... they R not a common truck with backup, service & parts

    The yanky type iron use common equipment ... all the yanky trucks use  Cummins, RR, Meritor, hendrickson etc

    all or most these bits & service available @ all good corner stores which keeps the price down 

    LOL
