I need a little help with the installation, of the ball onto the wishbone. All of the vendors tell me that the rubber bushing ball has bee n out of stock for years, so I don't want to screw up the one I have.

Bill, Is the rubber still pliable or is so old that it had hardened? If it hardened, it's junk.
With a pliable ball, boil it in water for a while. Spray some glass cleaner over the wishbone end and push the hot rubber ball over it. You'll be amazed at how easy this process works.
The glass cleaner will soon evaporate.
