So, I pumped some grease into the kingpins. Keep in mind I've put on approx 250 miles since they were replaced. I managed to get 5 pumps on the lower and 6 on the upper before anything major started to push out. IIRC I only managed 2-3 in the past. I also noticed that the grease was coming out quite black, the stuff I was pushing out. I have the red stuff in my gun. As I've only ever used red, is the clear/yellowish grease known to turn black? Apologies if that is a daft question. It wasn't all black, 80% black with some showing as clear.
As for the lower springs. They were both not compressed whatsoever when I parked up last night and this afternoon I went out to the garage and found them compressed. I can only assuming the something isn't allowing the kingpins/suspension to compress after decompressing or something is temporally seising things up.
Lastly, I felt the darker 'old' grease was not as thick as either the red stuff or the clear stuff that was also coming out. Might explain the slick oil-like coating on the kingpins themselves.
Looking forward to the 21st when a professional can take a look and sort it.
