The "wear" that I can see looks normal, as in like new. What I can't see is what the condition of the ball is. If it is rusty and pitted then it needs to be replaced, but if the darkness I see in the picture is just old grease with a smooth shiny ball under it then it is fine. > I checked the wear per my '61 shop manual, it is within spec. If the ball looks okay then it is just fine. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
