41k on Devol bushes so far but I expect they will need changing soon John, you must be one of the only S1's still on Devol, 'orrible things, somewhere I've got an old kingpin which I saved to show how the bushes trap fine grit then swell in damp weather and grind away the kingpin on its loaded side - nasty

Well they might have been changed before I bought it at 9k but I doubt it.
When I bought it I had gaiters fitted to the top & bottom springs.

My 85 +8 has had it`s king pins and bronze bushes replaced at 33k miles, though bought stainless king pins and stuck with bronze for the replacements, the king pins did not seem badly worn showing signs of corrosion at the location of the rebound spring, and scuffing in the area of the top bush... the bushes were worn and took a fair bit of effort to remove them in a 20 ton press.
Think I have a pic of the old king pin if anyone is interested.

Can I add that the lower gaiters were swopped from my +4 & were Mrs DWs best product.

Easier to just jack wheels off ground. You can then easily turn them on to full lock one way then the other to advantage access to nipples. You can also feel how stiff steering is before/after  BTW you need proper picture url's for them to display. You should be able to choose your picture on Flickr, then select share, then copy BBCode option and paste into post.
