Shock mount looks good. First time I did that was 1985. A 35.000 mile 61 chev 1/2 ton 4x4. 235 4 speed long step. 6 miles of washboard gravel road. Had ripped off mounts before I was born. Original owner let it be. I wish I still had it. Paid 700 bucks. Drove it a while and sold it for 1000. Looks like you are having fun with that front end. Since you are in a warm clime. Put about 3/4 grease and 1/4 140. Here I go about half half.

When you reassemble make sure the shimming is correct. On my 1961 GMC 4WD Suburban one side was way to tight, I think this is what broke the original bearing, I had to make the proper thickness shim from a sheet of shim stock.

Thanks Clyde. Will use the same shims as removed and try to test hub torque with my fish scale according to specs. (9 lb pull)

Ended up taking the whole thing apart on the bench before re install. If the other side leaks I will just slit the rubber, slit the felt, put slits at top and fix it in 15 minutes.
