>I am doing a front end suspension rebuild on my 74 Tr..
Question # 1, Is there a need to replace the bottom trunnions. Do they ware
out like the ball joints do?
Question# 2, Moss doesn't carry the uprated trailing arm bushings anymore.
does any one know who might, or why they quit carrying them?

James,
1) normally, no, the trunions are not a high wear item. Most of the wear
takes place on the bolt and the bushings at the A-arms and all that does
get replaced. If the bolt were to come loose the hole in the trunion could
get streached and would require replacement. The acme threads for the
vertical link can also wear and this could be another reason to replace but
if the trunion were properly lubricated these should last a good long time.
2) Try Ted at TS Imported < http://www.tsimportedautomotive.com >
