why do you have the upper rubber seal in the lower dust cap to C ?

here ya go order of install.

lower =

empty "c"

r=tin dust cover dome up . I like little rtv to seal it to "c"

race cone section down . press up in .

bearing

seal is stepped so bigger half will go flush or just inside the "c" .

lower pin once knuckle is on .

-------------------

upper is king pin 500-600ft lb spec

black rubber seal gm/dodge or ford

knuckle on / lower king pin in and floor jack to hold all up/tight

upper bushing . new there cheep or upgrade to bronze/ampco metal ones .

upper spring index washer then spring . or upgrade to crane off road spring eliminator kit . big urethane bushing and shims in kit ( if needed I didn't ) .

then gasket on top and arm /cap and bolt all down .
 
:haha: ha ha. Crap. I looked for the upper seal for an hr. That's the way it came when Iunpacked it. No frickin wonder why iI couldn't find it. I'm an idiot!!!! I had to use the old upper seal. And I even put that in upside down. Stupid. I was looking at bellavista and it did not show the lower seal. I was wondering why Iput that in.
 
And don't forget to put the studs in the knuckle like I like to do before installing it.:whistle:
