RJB Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I am rebuilding the front suspension and there appears to be discrepancies with the order of the washers, sealing rings etc on the trunnion to lower wishbone bolt. A YouTube clip says (from wishbone outwards) water shield, bush, rubber sealing ring, thrust washer. This also appears to be the case with the workshop manual. When I try this the rubber sealing ring won’t stay in place when I fit the bolt as there is nothing to hold it in place (I am using suprapro polybushes which may be wider than the originals). However, the original parts catalogue and the moss parts catalogue show water shield, rubber sealing ring, bush, thrust washer. This works for me. Which is correct and does it matter?

RogerH Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi Richard, It sounds like your are using a combination of the original bush/sealing parts and the SuperPro bush. If I remember correctly the SuperPro kit does not have sealimng rings etc. It is self sealing. I'm sure somebody will be along to confirm this or call me a twit.

Geko Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Yep, Standard bush are actually nylon inserts with shield and sealing ring etc... but you can't combine this setup (they come as a kit) in using polybush as bush. If you're using polybush, you install only the tube, the bush and the washers, not the shield neither the rings Edited May 20, 2019 by Geko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RJB Posted May 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Thank you so much. Absolutely correct, as I’ve re-read the instructions that came with the superpro kit. In fact this is what in did first time, then I started to doubt myself! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
