I'm glad I checked but I found a potential problem. ... on one side the outer seal for the lower bushing was mashed and distorted on one side and is unusable. ... After cleaning up the grease and the lower pins I dry fitted them and they do wobble a bit. ... the mashed seal side wobbles more than the other side. And after about 1 hour of use, I can see uneven wear marks on the new pin. ... . ... When I initially took it apart, I noticed when the last guy (probably the factory because the machine only had about 800 hrs when purchased) installed the pins, it appeared they did not seat the bolt into the recess of the pin correctly. Unless it loosened on its own through use and then distorted the recess portion of the pin. ... I suspect the pin was loose when I initially took it apart, but it being the first time I did this didn't pay much attention to it. ... I assumed all was well and replaced and reinstalled. Obviously I will need to address this issue ... ... sunday right now so will call dealer tomorrow morning to see if they can ream it true. ... ... HOW MUCH CAN THEY "TRUE" IT UP? not even sure if they have the tool. Is it part of maintenance schedule to check the torque on the lower pins periodically to head off these issues in future? I guess if a guy finds them loose he might want to look at it closer. ... thanks ... ICE</p></blockquote><p></p>
