Hi All, a fairly trivial question. I just purchased a pair of spindle repair kits (Bare-co). The top seal as supplied is a felt ring, yet the 4 kingpins I have pulled apart have a flattish rubber. Original parts book pictures aren't clear enough to see what it might be. Suggestions or recommendations?
Coming into summer here (NZ). Yippee.

Re: kingpin (spindle) top seal
Could be "either" both should be OK. It is just a dust seal and you should grease the king pins until grease comes out around it to flush away dirt and grit.

Re: kingpin (spindle) top seal
The bushes are very thin. You can tap a screwdriver down behind it to destroy it and lever it out. I used Agrilline replacements which did not need reaming.
Good luck
