Re: [T3] front beam repair

["Keith Park" <TopNotchResto@worldnet.att.net>]

Play in and out of the beam, with the torsion arm, can be adjusted out but
up and down is probably a combination of a worn arm and bushing and probably
the bearing will be trashed as well.

I *think* Im out of these right now but I have other beams I can cut up and
rescue (its a real Bitch getting the sleeves out without damaging them).
This will probably not happen this summer with all the rain and such.

I have complete used beams, assembled, with no holes or repair for $225 +
ship.

Another note is that what wears out the upper bushings and bearings is the
inability to grease them due to improperly installed from beam clamps, as
the top stuff has very little load on them.  the lower bushings and bearings
are much more likely to be worn as they have the load on them and also
suffer from rust if the beam rots through.
