Richard you should not need a shim washer. That tells me you have not crushed the hanger to the spindle barrel. Anytime there is clearance between the hanger and barrel there is slop or there will soon be. Remember I said to tighten them until you have some drag. They will quickly free upon running. It is not uncommon for me to tighten the kingpin bolts 2 or 3 times a season if I'm running a lot of laps with the same kart. Today we don't run them like in the day when you raced weekly or a couple times a week. A perfect example to the problem is not all hangers have the same distance between flanges and not all spindle barrels are the same length and god forbid anything being the same on a used worn kart. Now if you were to shorten the barrel like is done on many karts so you can add washers top or bottom or both to adjust wheel load you would still crush the hanger to the barrel and washers for slight drag initially.

Ok i will take i t out thanks Steve
