Rear suspension assembly question
I am reassembling on the car my rear suspension on my 1981 928 after a complete drive train overhaul.
Q. on the main lower control arm, where it attaches to the body, the forward eccentric bolt has a large eccentric disc on the front side. The disc is beveled on one side- does the bevel face toward the body or away from it ? (toward the nut).
Also, what is recommended lubricant, if any on the bushings that are in the forward and lower (to subframe) attachment points? I did not remove bushings from the arm.
What about on the metal bevelled washers on both sides of the upper link arm?
thanks, Mark
