This the best video I seen for this adjustment, you are awesome 💯💯💯💯💯

[@jarradmcdaniel9641]

Big question I need bushings for my plate would you still happen to carry old bushing still?
It is not set up like the ones in the videos.
It has dual jaws also a spring lever on the entryway and the realse is on the right side

I don’t have this special kingpin tool. How to know when is too tight

[@cesarvelasquez9436]

So if I have slack on my fifth wheel I need to go clockwise or counterclockwise to reduce the slack?

[@mattivy745]

Did you ever figure this out? I’m getting slack in mine & going to try to adjust

[@jeddavis8714]

Junk tame ,, drops em like there hot !

[@truckercatgo]

Why is it necessary to have this special tool? Why not just adjust to 1/4 inch and call it a day?

[@trainman071]

how about calling it a fourth wheel since is not attached to a truck! lol
