Is my Vertical Link thread OK?


Recommended Posts

Having removed my vertical link my thread seems OK. If I screw VL all the way into trunnion it is firm, however turning one turn out to allow for steering there is  (probably) 3mm or so play (definately not 5mm) at the top of the VL so assume this is just the thread play. Car has only done 61,800 miles and 600 of that since 1982 so I assume this VL and trunnion are good to re-use. Am I correct, do you think? Thanks.

The Vertical link is good as its got nice flat topped threads but I would say the trunnion probably would be best being replaced as this wears quicker. The more expensive Moss ones are good.
