Larry, my experience is limited to front end rebuild that I did this past
spring. With the front hub on the bench, screwed the trunions on until
tight with the fingers. I then backed off the trunion until I had a full
free range of motion for the front hub without any binding. I remember 1 or
2 rotations. Once the assembly was on the car, I verified that the hub could
move in the trunion for the full range of motion. So far, so good.

Subject: front trunnions
come on, come on, come on. I need some feed back. I had my front suspension
hooked up, then tore it down, to change the trunnion lubrication, then fixed
some spring problems, then had doubts about how far to screw down the
trunnions.
Is finger tight when you hit resistance against the rubber seal or when you
can't get it any tighter. The difference is three rotations, three threads
engaged or not engaged.

I had to include the dog pic. She always has to help out.
