Another thought......if part number 13 wobbles and is loose, the steel pin that goes through the ball in the end is a much harder steel than the ball end and it often wears the ball end and causes sloppiness. Pete Bahr used to have a machinist that bushed the end, but dear Pete passed away. While the whereabouts of his son are known, he will not answer repeated requests for an answer as to what has been done with his car and how to reach his mechanic.My fix is to drill and tap the end of the ball end of #13 and put in a small grub screw to hold the pin in place and it works nicely, but does make reassembly a bit dicey. Note part number 14, the nylon bushings are also a point of wear and Delta sells a set of the nylon bushings to repair that end. I once machined a set of oilite bushings for replacing the nylon and it worked a treat (as the Brits say) but is not easy to do. Frank
