The issue with having the skirt attached to the kingpin is that it adds to the sprung weight. (This probably doesn't matter much on a bus!) I'm hoping to attach it to the inner fender and only connect the steering tie rod move the skirt.

It is interesting that it would seem to worth doing this on a local metro bus.
