Looks great! Pack them with grease and store in a plastic bag in case you ever need them. (If you grease your cars existing trunnions regularly (every1-2 thousand miles) you should hopefully not need them).

Try the trunnions on immeadiately, and check for slop in the thread.

Good point - are you sure they are not 'new' ones - made in China ?? Although - in that case I wouldn't expect them to come with steering arms. I really do think you have a good deal there.

original bmc kingpins never had a colour code on the leg, ie the red dob of paint
bmc ones were stamped l for left and r for right

but still a very good buy

Sorry Josh, didn't read NOS. Just New items require a thorough check, before use :D
