Subject: EXACTLY the problem.



Statesville, NC
Also, from being run loose, the edges of the bushing will wear into the unit frame, and if you try to tighten it as you should it will lock everything where it will not move. The problem is the bushings are not long enough so you can fully tighten the bolts. You have to tighten the bolts VERY tight. I used an air impact wrench, and where I couldn't get it I use an 20" pull handle. Another poster, Big LG, emailed me and can make hardened bushings any size. I'm going to get some the original diameter but 1/8" longer so I can tighten the snot out of all the bolts and still have the linkage move. When it's really tight it doesn't matter if there are threads inside the bushing or not because it is not supposed to turn there.
