The ever recurring problem of slack torque tube ball joint mentioned above. Wear is quite rapid; despite regular greasing throughout my car was out of adj at 100,000 miles .Wear is very irregular and it is important the joint is not tight at the extremes of spring travel or something is likely to break. Not easy to test; most have to tolerate some play. Note that the clamping effect increases considerably when the locking bolts are tightened.

Is anyone building up and re contouring the spheres on an exchange basis? Is there any way of entrapping a piece of nylon or somesuch?
