That’s one reason I think a lot of people have bad opinions of the rubber ball. If the radius ball is already worn the rubber won’t fit as tightly and you’ll probably still get unwanted movement of the radius arm. Also that movement will wear out the rubber much quicker. My radius arm has a good round 1.5” ball and the rubber bushing. I’ve never had any problems with it and I’m saving metal on metal wear.

There aren’t many “upgrades” I like but this is one of them.
