there is about 1/16 or less axial movement. The joint moves free through its range of motion. Has just under 100k on it. Trying to diagnose a noise

Thanks

#65 Friction Stud. 951North I'm curious about the firearm diagram in the background. Firearms have been a hobby for over 50 years but I can't remember encountering a friction stud anywhere.

Back on topic. The rennbay kit does not have a washer between the lower cup and spring nor the rubber seal that was on the shaft placed next to it in the photo. I’m inclined to reuse the washer/shim as this is likely there so the spring does not bind against the cup. What purpose would the seal on the shaft play? My guess would be to cushion any contact between the shaft and the upper plastic bushing and not necessary with the rennbay design.
