Little things make life pleasurable --- or not so...

The whole week I tried to get a small part of the IRS spindle. The dust shield or bellow over/on the spherical bearing.
Nobody carries them and Ford wants you to buy the whole spindle - $635 Maximum Motorsports offers a kit for $379 plus shipping.
Well, my bearings are good and I came up with this solution.
Shrink hose...it keeps the grease in and the dust out.







There are two layers one for the inner and one for the outer ring. That keeps the whole thing flexible and does not slip off.

Speaking of grease here is the assembly sequence of the front...
