I'm not sure what else to call it- it attaches the piston of the ram to the tiller arm. I replaced both rod end ball joints at the outboard end (big thanks to Greg Page) but the port inboard link has a ton of wear and is loose. Has anyone had luck replacing one of these? (Pictures include the wrench that was keeping it from rolling away)
I saw them online at a couple places the same time I was looking for the boots. Here is one place I saved with a part number. A few daily shots of PB Blaster before working on it usually works well.
Go2 marine (where I got my boots) has them in stock too. Sit down before looking at the link though. https://www.go2marine.com/HP6039-Ball-Joint-K-22-27-28-29
**** you are right about that. Perfect match though. I'm glad only one needs to be replaced right now!
