Torsion bar question

Recommended Posts

Telf

I'm just starting my spring clean and noticed the nearside front torsion bar end looking a bit gruppy. I think there was a cap on here when I built it? 

 

Anyway cleaned up and picture attached , does this look normal other than the fact it was filled with road grime? 

 

It's been 4 years since I built it and just cannot remember!

 

The fluid is just oil where I'm cleaning it out.

Ta , I used your guide when I built it. However it doesn't answer my question.  Having taken the other wheel off and looked it appears it doesn't have a cover and is infact just dirty and full of road clag.

 I have only seen them packed with grease, cant see any plug on the parts diagram but you could probaly get a grommet or something to fit but not sure how long it would last.

Cheers I've cleaned it and packed it with grease. Seems pointless trying to cover it with anything.
