I broke the stock plastic steering knuckle/block 2 times so I thought I’ll upgrade it to some metal ones. Pic below:
The GPM one looks identical but the top and bottom holes are not big enough for the kingpin to fit. Even a brand new set of kingpins won’t go through the hole. Everything else fits fine but the kingpin. How do I get it to fit? I don’t have enough time to order another one cuz I going to tx this weekend. I also dont have an any sort of mill or drill to make to hole bigger. Please help! I can also post more pics for reference if you want.

The only thing I could think of is drilling it bigger but you don't have that option now. I had a set of integy castor blocks for my slash and I stripped the screw pin inside of it since it was too small. Thats why I like to stay with stock parts or option parts from the same brand to it can all fit. For right now I would just stick with the stock ones or get multiple pairs of the stock ones until you can get the aluminum ones to fit.

Thanks. I hope I can find the part in TX. Maybe a hobby shop could make it fit?
GPM doesn't QC their parts so it is likely the holes were machined wrong. I would contact whoever you bought them from and explain what is going on. If they are a reliable seller they should let you swap them for another set.
