Quick help for suspension service

@finnerz89 Nah not in that part. It's the part that sandwiches between the frame that has the needle bearings. It's just a collar on the bronze bush for the bit declan is working with.

@calum so the bearing are up at the engine side I wanted to get em out but the bolt is too hard to get to it moves smoothly enough though so I think it’s fine

They poooorroopperly seize in their.
The trick is to soak that part for at least a good 24 hours.
And then on reassembly, grease the balls off it.
That part always seizes as there is not grease nipple IIRC.
But yeah that's a good one to replace as it's going to exhibit the most stress.

@declan Nah, the main ones have grease nipples on. Blame poor owners who don't bother looking after them.
Ultimately it's likely they've never been removed, or properly serviced, it's a miracle they've survived that long.

@calum is there supposed to be rubber seals either side of the bushing for behind the dog bones?
