After a lot of searching and reading and you fellows advice, I purchased a couple a radius arms off of eBay.  I still have not seen an exploded view of how they are attached, and I was surprised to find that they are just screwed in place.  Of course you all knew this!  I was expecting some kind of bushing, but now I see that they rotate on the threads.  So, when they ware, I'm guessing that the threads are what ware out?  I see on eBay a brake flange that the radius rod is threaded onto.  Which one wares?  Do they both have to be replaced?  There is not a lot of play at either end, but I would assume that there shouldn't be any.  Thoughts?

Thanks, Ken

Ken, I would replace every part that has anything to do with the radius arms. There are bushings, cork seals, brackets, and maybe some other parts too. Now is the time to do it.
