Front Suspension ... mystery thrust washer?


Recommended Posts

Help!

When I removed the lower wishbone nearest the bulkhead (passenger side - RHD car) I discovered that there are TWO thrust washers fitted next to each other. This was a surprise as I expected one as had been the case on the other wishbone (on that side).

Anyone any idea why this would be?

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. Makes sense.

So, presumably it is best to leave things as they are?

Should I expect the other side to be set up in the same way?

Thanks again.

Robert

Refit it the correct way according to,the book unless you can find a real reason its been done.
