    enclosed a pic from my bearing?? connect the leaf to the axle housing. On the rear axle i have a metal strip (half around the axle shaft). How is the lubrication from this bearing or is a rubber inside?? (the metal strip moved a little bit but it hold with 2 rivets.
    It's dripping for that reason a take off the bearing.

    I think those are on top of the axle tube where the u bolts rest on top. It is not a bearing. I believe you can adjust the pinion angle with that set up.

    bearing

    It must be a kind of bearing, i think so. The Rear leaf is connected with 2 big U-Bolts on this part at the rear axle. On top of this part sit's the rear axle bumper.

    Not a bearing, it just clamps round the axle. the snuber sits on top, and the u bolts sit in the grooves. This keeps the Ubolts from wearing into the ale tube, and provide a way to fine tune the pinion angle of the driveshaft.

    Not supposed to be lubricated. It may have buildup of leaky axle grease.
