Re: lazy susan type bearing? thrust bearing?
What is the reason the OD of a washer needs to to be exactly 1.25? As long as the ID fits over the inner race, and the OD is big enough to rest on the flange, does it matter if it is bigger?
Yes, the shaft was covered with goo to keep it from rusting. This gives you an idea of how prone to rust it is.
The reason your flange bearing is noisey is that it is low-precision (cheap.) Ball bearings are sold in many grades of quality/precision, with the price pretty much matching the quality.
I think you will find that you will like the flanged bronze bushing when you try it. It will be smooth and silent, rust and dust resistant, and the thrust bearing can rest directly on it.
