I noticed that there is a little up and down movement in the lower ball joint, not much but maybe a 32nd of an inch. Would this be normal or should there be zero movement? If no movement, is there a way to tighten them up? Mac
 
Hello Mac,

you should not have any discernable movement and the joint should be replaced. I'm not familiar with the 140 but if it is the same joint as my MK 2 then, although there are shims in the joint they are for initial installation and not wear adjustment.
