Just wondering what you guys think about this vertical link.
About half the threads are somewhat deteriorated. Maybe it rusted under the care of a PO?
With the threads fully engaged I can wiggle the trunnion .010 in using the setup in the photo. But it seems like when held by the ball joint there is little or no opportunity for the link to move in this direction? I'm not seeing any noticeable play in any other direction.
I also checked the run-out of the upper bore (for the ball joint) with the threads chucked in the lathe and got around .050 in.
