The first thing to do is remove the pin and do some measuring with a micrometer- - - -NOT a dial or digital caliper. More than a few thousandths wear where it rides in the carrier is problematic. Once the pin starts hammering itself back and forth as the drive wheels encounter rough road surfaces, potholes, etc., the hardened pin will wear the softer metal of the carrier pretty quickly. Also measure the holes in the carrier for oval wear with a spring loaded expanding hole gauge. Jerry
