Hey all,
I've always found excellent help here on the forums whenever I have an issue with my 2040, so hopefully this one will be quick and easy for y'all.
Left front tire (as you're sitting in the seat.) I looked down this morning and noticed the rod had slipped off the ball. I was able to tap it back on with a hammer, but without the tape job, it just pops off again when you turn.
My question: it looked like there was some sort of bearing or something that was originally in the socket--and obviously the rubber boot dry rotted away. There also looks to be what used to be a retaining spring in the bottom of the socket.
Is this something that I can get a few parts for and repair myself, or was that ball joint pressed in at the factory?
For some reason the forum isn't allowing me to attach the picture, but it's at the following:
