HI quick question here, hope its in the right place I'm  not good on forums.

 

I have a set of rose joints for my lower arms complete with covers and spacers however i have not been able to find a simple picture of or diagram of how they correctly assemble. I will obtain the rubber covers at some point too!

 

I still may not use them yet but even a simple drawing will help at this point.

 

Just to clarify the wear and tear aspect of these fittings will not be a huge issue as the car does less than 1000 miles a year.

 

I can also fit the standard rubber bush set up but that is self explanatory. 

 

Any help here would be much appreciated.

 

cheers guys. stay safe!!

Only one way, if I remember correctly, as any other way the rubbers leave a big gap.

Easy,

Put the gaiter over the joint ( if used), put a spacer each side of the joint, iirc you can stretch the gaiter/ boot onto them, position and slide the wiggle pin through and tighten up.

I made an adaptor from a foot ball pump needle and a grease nipped so I could pump grease in bu slipping the needle up the side where it goes out to the bottom arm.

Mine have been fine for about 10k Road miles, even trough the winter, I even ended up with it as my daily for a year or so...
