I'm guessing that the factory pieces are grease seals, never intended to be thrust bearings... Mine were brand new (stock) with the beam rebuild. I'm sure that they would suffice on a cruiser, but for hard driving one should probably get the parts mentioned above.
The horrible play mine has now is from one seal (practically) missing.

| Monroe air shocks MA 756 will fit on a ball joint front end. I just installed on a 1970 type 1. You will have to make modifications to the shock bushing sleeve though. You will need to cut the sleeves flush with the bushing and drill the sleeve out with a 1/2 inch drill bit. I suggest drilling first because you'll want some length on the sleeve to hold with channel lock pliers. Also you'll want to use graduating bits. Don't start with 1/2 bit work up to it. The shocks work great. |
