I was looking through my pictures and I ran across this one. The picture was while I was looking for a leak. This is a 1999 m1083A1 rear most axle.
It looks like the ball joint is loose on the control triangle (not sure what it is called). Look at the gap and the threads showing. Or is that gap part of the design for this part?
can’t look at the truck tonight, so thought I would post.
