The problem is the steering spindle isn't lined up, the top/bottom screws holes are at an angle, so they grind in the castor block! 2 solutions:
1. Put a 3mm shaft through the spindle holes to force them straight, then heat them up with a blow torch while the shaft is in, they heat and straighten!
2. Screw the kingpins in at an angle to the spindle so they are straight in the castor block...if you do this do each one a turn or 2 at a time and check how free it is, if it binds back out a turn or 2 and rescrew in with a twisting motion to again try and make the kingpin parallel to the castor block (rather than the spindle!). I use a little shock oil when doing this route as well!
Hope that makes sense?
