Default Lower control arms

On an original leaf spring car. That material is the outer bushing. This is the bushings in the outer part of the rear lower control arm where it attach the upright. There are two of them in each arm and there is a seal on each side of each bushing. Is it oilite or some kind of bronze?

Also I hear the shaft that goes thru them was chrome plated. Was this a hard chrome ?

I don't think there was any grease zerks anywhere so how does this joint get lubed?

I was thinking Dan would know.

Always trying to learn about original cars
