I wouldn't ride around with a suspension that shows a questionable gap
between the trunion and the vertical link. FWIW I had a trunion
completely separate from the link while on the road in my TR6. Luckily
I was turning around in a parking lot (No I didn't hit any large chuck
holes, it just came apart!) and not on the road at speed which I was
only seconds before. Very sobering thought. The front side of the car
just fell down on top of the tire.
I didn't do a thorough failure analysis but it appeared the threads of
the trunion just pulled out. I had routinely lubed with gear oil per
factory instructions but don't know what the DPO had done.
Be careful out there!
