The passage is defined by a one piece component which includes a spigot (23) extending into lubricant channel (17), an outwardly extending tube (22), and inwardly extending tubes (24) which terminate at the innermost end of chamber (18). These parts are formed in a one piece component integral with a thrust washer (21). The arrangement prevents lubricant drainage from the chamber (18) when the joint is stationary.</p> |
