Me again, having done the transfer box seals I want to sort out the leaky swivel seals on my series 1. I have all the bits and it seems fairly straight forward. One question I have is about the steering arms which are on the top on a series I but bottom on later series vehicles. I assume when converting a series I to Raiko bushes the steering arms remain on the top and need the splined pin pushing out and replacing with a wider pin for the raiko bush? I just wondered if they were designed to take the strain imposed by the steering effort working through them rather than the bearings on the bottom. Also how are they lubricated? The manual says use the same spec oil as the swivel I assume this is just applied to the cavity in the bush?
Thanks for any advice.
