Hi,

I am just updating all my linkages ETC but this part is wore over time and is too slack for the ball to sit in without popping out.

Can you let me know what it is called or where I could get a new one please.

there are classic bodges, like wrapping elec tape round it & forcing the socket back on, or using a sharp punch, knurling the edge & forcing it on, but i think the only way to fix it these days is to convert it to rosejoints. i think there is a how to guide
