You usually need shims on each side. They really are only needed either top or bottom but im sure you could do both to equal out. I would get part number: SJ-7100 to help out too.

Some time during the production of the CJ2A, they started using lower king pins that already had a .058" shim built in. You can't really see the shim because it's part of the king pin. On these and all later model Jeeps, you shim the upper king pin only. Do not add shims to the lower king pin. The early king pins such as on the MBs and early CJ2As, has to be shimmed equally on the top and bottom. It should take 12 to 16 lbs. pull to swing the knuckle. On the MBs and GPWs, I believe the pull is around 4 to 8 pounds. I can't find the old manual so not absolutely sure.

They will interchange. The main thing is make sure your ring & pinion ratios are the same.

You typically can shim either - we usually do equal amounts till you receive the proper pivot tension when turning the wheel.
