Right side cylinder rattle. Play in Pins. Normal wear?

[Speedybon]

I have a LA402 loader that is now loose and rattles the right side is still tight. Is it normal wear or can it be fixed it. It seems that there is play in the upper cylinder housing and the boom also is this something that i can fix or normal

hmm.. 'rattle'

is that pin and frame
or
is that pin and cylinder

that makes the rattle ?

you can 'shim' to remove the gap between cylinder and frame (left to right movement)

If it's bad enough to fix yes you can DIY - buy a new cylinder and pin. Messicks can fix you up for something around $850-$900.

I clean it and installed washers on both side and grease it. It seems better. I saw how much from Messicks. It can rattle for 1000 bucks....

Just keep all your pins greased regularly and don't worry about it.
