Ford 5000/6600 Steering rebuild

[401FordManNZ]

Hi all,

I was wanting some advise, My 6600 has alot of play in the steering arm under the radiator, all the balljoints are new elsewhere and play eliminated everywhere but that arm in the front cast support. Its not really side to side play, but up and down, which transforms into a huge amount of freeplay at the wheel. is there a way of rebushing the arm under the radiator?

yes there is a big pin and two pushing in the front bolster that the arm pivots on the bushings and pin is most likely worn
