Re: Front axle Radius Rods

sorry to confuse you Bob!
The bolt is a free fit in the cups and the ball, but the hole diameter in the arms will not accept the 3/8 bolt.
I think the o/s arm may have been "adjusted" for some reason....the arm was under some tension, but could be persuaded to fit onto the ball. the N/S lined up ok. Both now have vertical faces.
I note your comment about the tightness of the joint & may forgo a spring washer
Been getting rusted & broken steel screws out of the hood front rail today, so maybe get underneath tomorrow!
