I took my 54 Lincoln Capri suspension apart, keeping one side together for reference. I but I think I still messed it up. I am trying to put the second side back together and now I think both sides are wrong. There is a shaft that goes between the two bushings. There are a pair of ears, not sure what else to call them, near one end of the shaft that goes up against the bushing. The other side has no ears. There is a large washer that goes up against a bushing but I don't know what goes where. I'm thinking the ears goes up against the washer and that goes up against the bushing. The other side of the shaft goes inside the bushing rubber about a half inch. I had a machine shop put the last bushing in and the ears are against the rubber of a bushing, bending the rubber pretty far. He did it the way I gave it to him. My error not his.
So if someone can confirm the way I have described it, I'd appreciate it. The manual doesn't show enough details so I can tell for sure. Thanks
