Greasy bush........
Discussion
One for Finbar Saunders 'ere:
Right,
The steels bush insert is clamped the flanges bt the bolt with the recommended torque right? Then the nylon bushes are fit between the insert and the wishbone sleeve. The insert is the only part to be clamped to the flange.
Do you:
a) grease only the inside of the bush where it contacts the insert?
b) grease all of the bush especially the gap between the two bushes so that acts as a reservior?)
c) go grease crazy and stick grease on the bolt, the insert (inside and out) the flanges (inside and out), the bolt washers (againjst the outer flange) etc?
So what actually moves? Wishbone and bush over insert, wishbone over bush, or (hopfully not) wishbone, bush and insert around bolt!!?
I'm bushed!!!

The insert is clamped between the mounts so effectively become part of the chassis. Any grease you put on the bold will help keep corrosion at bay. Thin film of Copperslip but don't get it in the white grease.
The pair of bushes should stay still in the swing arm but I'm not too fussed if they move but you may want a film of grease just so they insert nicely.
The movement plains are; Bush inner to S steel insert. Bush end face to inside of chassis mount.
As you say the gap between the bushes will act as a reservoir.
