While rebuilding (I should say re-assembling) my 74 Spit 1500 rear
suspension after about 8 years delay, I find a lack of instructions in
the Haynes manual.
I can't find reference to assembling the nylon bushes, steel
bush, and dust seals etc in the trunnion. I see two exploded view
diagrams, but need to know:
1. Do I lubricate (pack with grease or anything else) the nylon
bush and steel sleeve.
2. Is the steel sleeve really half an inch (1/2") shorter than
the outer edges of the nylon bushes? I would have expected it to be of
equal length.
3. Do I lubricate the rubber seal between the two dust seal
plates ?
Other than that, rhe rest is going well and I may even have
wheels on my chassis by the week end.
