My 53 3100 is back on the road after a 3-year restore and I have a vibration and noise starting around 35 mph. I separated the torque tube from the 3-speed and the u-joint has play so I ordered the u-joint repair kit from Classic Parts. I'm concerned the torque tube shaft bushing may be worn as well and want to replace it, if needed, while I have it apart. I cannot move the spline shaft up/down or side to side by hand but I can get movement with a small pry bar. My question is what is the procedure to tell if there is play in this bushing and if I need the Okie bushing. Thanks!
