Torsion bar cap seal and ball joint wedge bolt
Does anyone know where to get those fabric-like washers used as a front torsion bar cap seal? (sits between the cap and cross member).
Also, does anyone know why the Bentley Book recommends replacing the ball joint wedge bolt? Can't find those either.... JB

Thanks! Having the part numbers makes it simple...
Interesting that a search for "torsion bar seal" doesn't bring that right up... And the wedge bolt is a "threaded pin!" I'm still not sure why the "threaded pin" should be replaced unless it's obviously worn. JB

Lots of stress on the wedge pin, if your removing it it's a good idea to replace it, it's cheap but if it fails....

I bought new ones because I saw so many posts about people breaking them when installing them. I wanted to have some on hand just in case. Tapping them into place, as opposed to trying to pull them into place by tightening the nut seems to be the better way to install them. I saw it here on PP and it worked for me. You might be just fine reusing the old ones if you install them this way.
