Very cheap ones are available, usually made out of lubricated bronze for situations like this. The system will work better if you use two flange bearings, so the bearing rotates on the pin rather than the aluminum arm rotating on the bearing. The most important thing is that the nut not apply a clamping force to the joint. Usually this is accomplished with either a lock nut in the case of a shoulder bolt or circlips in the case of a unthreaded pivot pin. | |
