Have you also examined all the rod ends and lever holes for wear. Severe rod wear has been found by some with rod ends almost worn in half so there was a lot of slop in its bushing. Bushings in the lever holes are another issue. 40 and 41 models had issues with rubber bushings in the lever holes deteriorating so they changed some of them to all metal. Dealers were supposed to change them but if a car never saw a dealer after the sale or they did not do a complete job wear or deterioration in bushings could also cause linkage issues.


I cleaned up all of the linkage connections. No rubber bushings and most of the slop I found in the linkage was due to worn spring washers. All are tight now with new washers and shims.
