Unkel Kunkel Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I have always taken it to be an anti- vibration damper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 yes it decouples vibrations so you have no idea the ball has disintegrated till it all falls through the hole Ha ! there has always been a chance of sizzle on 3 and 1 rail boxes set up by things rotating on the forks odd bits of plastic have replaced brass and metal spherical cups/balls etc over the years to quieten sizzle but shortens remote life expectancy pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
