Message bushings are still original, do yourself a favor and change them. It's a very easy job, and the improvement in handling was very noticeable for me.

Old sloppy bushings. The arm had about 1/2" of back and forth play when I disconnected the ball-joint.

First you drill lots of holes around the bushing and hammer it out:

Then you light what's left on fire!

Then you Dremel the interior smooth:

Then you push in the ES bushings:

Then you chase your wife around the house with your dirty hands and watch her run and scream. :-)

Thanks to those who gave me the advice I needed.
