it states on the jdht parts page that this "special washer rear" and 4 are required per car set any one no what is meant by rear?

 

I looked for a long time, as its been a loooooong time since I had one of these apart.

There a 6 washers per car.

These #4 are called rear, no idea why, but they go between the arm and the welded tube in the cradle, and #5 is the washer directly under the slotted nut.

The pin has a large flanged head that serves as its own washer.

From memory????, these washers are serrated on one side, and those serrations bear on the inner sleeve of the Metalastic bush thus locking it and giving the Metalastic its unique flexibility.

I thought I had some in the stash outside, but cannot find them at the moment, too much stash, must do a clean up.

 

thanks grant,

 

I second Grant. Just had mine apart for a complete rebuild at the beginning of the year.

 

New bottom wishbone pins are surprisingly cheap, worth replacing the old ones, and come with new special washers.
