[Fot] Trunion seals

[Charly Mitchel]

Yes I've seen all the kits that the local parts guys sell and they all 
include the cup, flat and O ring in them.  The others are the lower inner 
kit.  What I'm looking for is a solid simple bushing set for the pivot of 
the lower a arms to the trunion.  It seems someone should make one out of 
nylatron or delrin.  Maybe the way to go is make it out of brass.
Any thoughts about that?

if you look at the description of these or the illustration, they all have 
the numerous parts in them and none contain the simple bushing.
BPNW has it listed for $22.00 per side.
660-998  $89.95  MAJOR SUSPENSION KIT (repairs both sides)
