Default Re: Whats happening here

William:
It looks like a part Model A'ers used to install which fit inside the wishbone retainer cap to take up slack on worn out wishbone balls. It might have shifted inside the holder and is trying to come out. If the radius ball is loose in the ball cup, a shim can be made from a fender washer by using a ball peen hammer to shape the washer to fit the bottom curvature of the ball; maybe someone added one over the years.
