Default Re: Gap at wishbone to bell housing

From your picture it looks to me that the bottom retainer is cast iron not pressed steel . This is the aftermarket rubber ball setup which I myself am not a fan of . With the all steel setup you can see what is going on with the hidden rubber ball you cannot . The reason that the rubber ball setup is used is because of excess wear on the radius ball (gone oval) If the ball is oval the parts houses sell a shaped washer to take up the slack . If it were my car i would ditch that setup and go back to standard .

John still in thanks to Covid 19 Suffolk County England .
