Paul,
This evening I pressed out the two rubber bushings in the upper trunnion,
the pieces that fit between the shock arms. Each half had a steel sleeve
which fit snugly over the shouldered bolt that binds all this stuff. The
same bolt fits loosely into the poly bushings, at least when the poly
bushings are not installed in the trunnion. The steel sleeve, which I cut
from the rubber, appears too large in diameter to fit inside the poly
bushings, although the generic instructions specifically say to reuse them.
This sleeve is also a much closer fit to the shouldered bolt than the poly
bush.
If the poly bushings are to be fitted w/o a sleeve, it would appear that
their loose fit on the bolt would defeat the purpose of using them: to
tighten up the suspension.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ed
