I just finished changing out the Pivot Bushings in my Dana 50 TTB Front Axle. I ordered the Energy Suspension Bushings from Summit.
Anyway, the reason I'm posting is because they don't look like they're installed right. I put them in like I thought the paperwork said, but the metal shoulder on the bushings isn't seated against the inside of the axle. It hangs out of the axle about 1/4".
Does that sound right?
I looked up the installation in the archives before I installed them, and someone else had posted to put the rubber rings that come with them on the opposite side of the metal shoulder.
With the metal shoulder hanging out of the axle about 1/4", and the rubber rings being about 1/4" thick, it looks to me like they should go under the shoulder.
Which side do the rubber rings go on???
Here is a link with the bushings installed, and several members said they were installed incorrectly, but it looks like it should be to me:
Pivot Bushing Incorrect Installation???
Are the pictures in the link installed the right way or the wrong way?
If anyone knows for sure which way is the correct way, please clear this up for me.
Thanks!
