What's the advantage to these? I know, it should be obvious, but I've heard it's not a particularly good idea to use roller bearings where the parts don't rotate completely; i.e. the parts rock back

The big difference here is that in cam rockers the load is always in one direction, up. In the king pins the load is spread fairly evenly over all the bearings, thus reducing the friction when turnin

The other huge difference is the rapid acceleration, and sudden reversal of direction, in roller rockers when used in a pushrod engine. Never do it. King pins etc are fine. Yes, not an engineering te

I just wonder, has there ever been a problem with the Healey's concerning "shimmying", uncontrolable oscilation of the front wheels, using the needle bearings because of the reduced friction (thus da

Another question: do these needle bearings replace the thrust bushings (on the top of the upper trunnion), or the 'vertical' bushings (the ones that have to be reamed to fit)? The former have been ar

Easy as unscrewing the top trunnion bolt if everything else is apart. You'll need a bunch of shims to set the end float (which is more or less trial and error). bs -- Bob Spidell - San Jose, CA I've

there isnt a torque reading for the upper trunnion. But the process is the same as the wheel bearings. You will add or subtract shims until you have about .003 end float. You want it to have no movem
