    Default Wing Strut Bearing

    Guys,

    The picture below is of the wing strut bearing...bent! So.... I think the threaded rod is welded into the strut tube, and it's just mild steel. My thoughts are to drill out the threaded rod (1/4"), tap 5/16 into the rod and replace the rod end bearing with a male bearing with 5/16 thread.

    Thoughts?
