I'll ask the guy doing the re-work there Scott, if he suggests it.

If I do any mod, and it goes belly up, I might be SOL on what-ever warranty I get...

I'm not sure this link will work (been having some problems) but this is how I rebuilt mine

Anyway here, I did some cleanup (AND DIDN'T SEE ANY SMOKE - BETTER QUIT WHILE I'M BEHIND!!! I HAVE heard some folks couldn't boil water with BURNIN' IT ).

I found metal under the 'tar', on the suspension hardware. Corner jam is my biggest pet peeve . The thought of pumping grit into a fitting, in front of new grease, makes my gut do 360's
