Bob,
Probably like half the list I have a whole bunch of the 'proper' bronze
thrust washers if you need one or 2 or........
I can't imagine the steel washer will work because it will not get any
lubrication whereas the phospher bronze unit self lubricates.
I shimmed the king pin this evening and while 2 shims came with the kit I
needed 4 (might get it down to 3 when I get it on the car and re-check it).
Again, the list must have lots of these and I still have a couple spare if
you are desparate (I live in England, postage to the states takes time, etc).

<< Hello list,-----I have a part I need to identify. Before I opened the bag
, I
thought it was going to be part #2A4006 which is a bronze thrust washer in
the suspension. The part in the bag turned out to be a part of identical
size
and shape only made of steel with a spiral groove cut into it for, I
presume,
better grease flow. The label attached to this steel washer said 2A3027, but
this was crossed out and "Leyland 10D73 E.P. was written over it. Could this
steel washer be a replacement for the original bronze one?
Also, are the shims for this assembly a common universal part which I can
buy
from,say, an electric motor overhaul shop? As far as that goes, is the
thrust
washer itself a common "over-the-counter" item?
I'm going into town to try to answer my own question but your feed back
would help.
Thanks,----Bob Chamberlain >>
