My 2004 plus 4 was the factory prototype fitted with stainless steel king pins and Devol bushes. The car has 58,000 on the clock, it has just gone through the MOT and I was advised that the kingpin wear is at 50% one side, 60% the other and a fail is at 100%. Was thinking like others of changing to hard chrome kingpins and grooved bronze bushes as these seem to be highly rated. To be honest it looks like the Devol bush set up is hard to be for longevity which makes you wonder why more people are not choosing it.
