Hi Jim,

I wound up replacing control arms in the 850 and was not overwhelmed with any
of the aftermarket arms. One came with a soft steel threaded bolt to lock
the ball joint and it quickly deformed introducing slop. There should probably be a hardened and ground tapered surface where it bears against the ball joint groove to lock it..

I'm still in rehab for the elbow and it gets expanded starting today.
The Triceps surgery is OK but I go for an ultra sound next week to check for a possible massive rotor cuff tear. The doc said 50:50 chance for a shoulder replacement.

Try the Brickmail again.

Cheers, Bill
