In response to Lecats post(I think)I have attached some photographs of the Vesconite Hilube bushes that I have fitted to my 4/4's Stub Axles, the Bushes I made have 2 pairs of opposing helical groves connecting to a annular groove at the one end thus allowing the lubricant to circulate with the rotation of the Stub Axles about King Pins, although in theory being made with a PTFE filler the Bushes should not require this amount of detailing, but I am a belt and braces man. The Bushes were made for a resultant fit in the Stub Axles that line bored at both ends,leaving shoulders for the Bushes to register against, avoiding any axial movement of the Bushes when fitted. I also bored the seating for the lower Bush to accommodate a Lip seal that is shown in the one photograph.the outcome has been as I hoped with a close transition fit with no reaming
