king pin question

good day is there any "official" specs that any one knows about on how much play if any is allowed for king pins? checked my s/c and i have a small click forward and back and a little less side to side pin is polished a bit but cant feel any thing with a finger nail may be the way it was installed to allow grease? thanks

My specs dont go back very far, but as a rule, little to no play is desirable. Whenever I couldn't find the hone (looks more like a reamer) I'd remove the entire axle and take it to a machine shop for them to resize the bore. Eliminated a lot of headaches.
