"Mr.J.C.Bullas@H.trl.co.uk" asks:
Q. How do you stop the lube getting washed out of shock absorber rose joints
(they are SPAX coilovers on a Speedex beam axle)
>>Well, if it really a Rose joint (trade name Heim
joint, real name spherical rod end for those of us on
this side of the pond), I bought some cool little
rubber covers at Frey Racing (address below),that are
supposed to keep grit out & lube in. They were a *heck*
of a lot cheaper than new rod ends and a few years later
they are cracking but still intact. What they look like
is a suction cup with a hole in the center, you fit
them to either side of the joint when assembling, then
pull one back & squirt your favorite lube in there.
