I have a question. I purchased a front suspension rebuild kit from BPNW and there is a rubber bushing that I am curious about. I also have a bag of the same bushing from TRF about 20 to 30 years old. The part# on the TRF bag is 102-228. The current TRF catalog shows as "bush rubber, upper wishbones". The original Triumph parts book shows as "Bush rubber lower and upper wishbone to inner fulcrum pin". The Moss catalog shows bushing rubber upper wishbone as 680-130.
To the best I can tell the suppliers have changed the lower rubber bush to a combination of a steel and nylon bush combination, and the upper is available in rubber or nylon. Am I correct in that assumption?
Another question that I have is,
Can you change the rubber inside the lower wishbone arms where they go onto the trunnion? I see no part numbers, I have the steel bushing thrust washers etc. but don't see anything else.
