I'm not sure about the rear trunnions. The lubrication for the front
trunnion and steering rack are basically for screw threads, whilst the
rear trunnion (probably more correctly called the rear hub) lube point
is for the wheel bearings. That might explain why grease is used at
the rear and oil for the front.
Anyone else ?
> BTW is it trunnion or trunion?
You'r right, it should have a double n, mea culpa.
Julian.
