Another front suspension question (Was TR4A (and 250 & 6) front inner lower suspension torque setting)

Thanks to Rich Rock for sending:

Which brings up another question.  I assume "Lower wishbone to vertical
link" means the bolt through the trunnion.  I've always used the TR4
instructions (5 lbs then back off a flat), since the Bently/Factory manual
is pretty much mute on the whole 4A front suspension.  50-65 is a big
difference, might explain why I wear trunnions out.  Can anyone with a 250/6
manual tell me if this area should be lubricated at all during assembly?  Or
is anyone willing to scan and post (or send me, and I can put it up) the
relevant sections of the 250/6 manual for the front suspension?

Thanks,
Darrell
