I am in the middle of a 308 QV suspension refresh- and want to make sure I am putting these coated washers back correctly. On my car, they were not all oriented the same way when they came off.
I'm assuming the teflon coating goes towards the
hub (away from the pin)- since this is where the rotational movement will be. If mounted towards the pin (or a-arm) there is no movement rotationaly so no need for the coating.
Is this correct?
I've highlighted the coated washer so others can see what we are talking about.
Additionally- this rear outer bushing sure seem like a good place for developing creaks and moans in the suspension if they are not maintained and lubricated periodically. Mine were caked in old grease and grime- but cleaned up fine. Then, I just lubed them up with some high-temp moly bearing grease. Is this o.k. to use?
the bottom photo shows both sides- which are mirror imager of each other.
Thanks-
