thrust bearing installed on the knuckle pin
between the lower side of the upper trunnion
and a shoulder on the knuckle pin absorbs the
end thrust of the knuckle pin.
The upper control arm is attached to the
upper trunnion with a screw and lock nut. The
trunnion screw has a larger thread diameter at
the head than at the end. Therefore, the screw
MUST be started into the same control arm when
being reassembled to insure a tight fit.

"Rambler" Series
Lower Control Arms
"Hornet" and "Wasp" Series
The lower control arms are attached to a
removable mounting bracket attached to the
body side sill by bolts and rubber insulators.
The inner end of the lower control arms
contain rubber bushings. The outer end of the
control arms are attached to the spindle
support with internal and external threaded
metal bushings (Fig. 11).
The lower control arms may be removed individ-
ually after removing the front spring. Discon-
nect at the lower shock absorber mounting,
spindle support, and at the mounting bracket.
To install the lower control arms on the
mounting bracket, connect the shock absorber
and tighten the attaching bolt 150-175 Foot
Pounds torque. Then install and tighten the
bushings in the arm and onto the spindle
support centering the support between the
control arms.
"Rambler" Series
The lower control arm is attached to the lower
trunnion with a conventional internal and
external threaded metal bushing and to the
pivot bar with rubber insulated bushings (Fig.
12).
The rubber bushings are pressed into the
control arms. The bushings may be removed by
driving straight out of the control arm; do
not turn or twist as this may enlarge the
opening in the control arm.
New bushings may be pressed into the control
arm until the flange on the bushing is 1/2"
from the control arms (Fig. 13).
The lower control arm trunnion bushings MUST
be tightened to 125 Foot Pounds torque.
