Hi All,

while preflighting my KF 5 , I noticed play in the lift strut, at the tie rod end center ball and the wing spar attachment fitting.

The tie rod center ball moves back and forth on the nas 1104-16 bolt .

Both the front and back attachment have movement. The front about the width of an AN960 washer the back about an AN960L washer.

I am thinking there should be no play between the "U" wing spar fitting and the center ball of the tie rod end fitting, but I did not build the plane and I am at a disadvantage.

I am thinking I should put washers in between the tie rod end ball and the wing spar attachment to take up the space, so as to have the tie rod ball tight and stationary, but would like to get some advice from builders on how this attachment should be fastened.
