Rich-

Rick made an important point in his advice to you.

NEVER just crank down on the fastener that goes through the heim in order to eliminate play. ALWAYS make sure to make a spacer that fits in there properly so that when you tightn the fastener the bracket holding the heim doesn't bend.

I have seen situations where there has been so much clearance between the heim and the bracket that when it was cranked down tight and the brackets were forced to bend, the bracket actually developed cracks - not a safe situation!
