I agree with Keith about the ball joints, but I think you're definetly onto something with the central bell crank shaft. Any play in that would certainly cause problems. I've no experience with them; can they be rebushed or would it be easier to replace the shaft? Sometimes a teflon sleeve will work well in a situation like this. -- ******************************* 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/
