Yeah, possibly. I replaced it with a nylon bush, from a later model. I
was assured it would fit, and it did. It did remove a lot of shake
(mainly up & down, left & right play). Had to replace the rack to get rid
of all the vibration, though (this after balancing wheels, etc).
Short term, all I have on my list is that the left turn signal is getting
a little reluctant (slow blinking), which indicates to me that I need to
clean some bullet connectors. Also, wash the poor thing (it's raining
now, though).
Long term, ooog, see lengthy previous posts...
