Just going through the parts for the front suspension and investigating the NOS Quinton Hazell King Pin set I acquired. The 'kit' (for each king pin) has two cork rings, which I take to be the seals for the lower fulcrum pin, however there is not another cork ring as shown on the service parts list ( 1A4746 ). There are however two rubber O rings.

Is one of these a replacement for the cork ring on the top of the bottom trunnion?

If so where does the other one go?

BBH, In the moss parts book "front suspension" there is 2 fulcrum (cork) rings item no 69. I replaced these with 2 "O" rings. Item 51 seal swivel pin, cork, I also replaced this with "O" ring. The respective p/n 031-277 , p/n031-275 these both come in the rebuild kit, O rings to me is a far better and longer lasting than cork. Saltiga
