	These parts have now been through the first pass in the glass beader. A complete set of photos are taken at this stage and sent to the customer. Imperceptions are detailed and a discussion takes place as to how to proceed.

	As you can see form this shot the spring pocket had some damage from rust. This is a fairly common problem. This customer elected to use that arm anyway. The option of replacing the arm with the exact replacement was offered.
	This arm had very little pitting.
	The bushing retaining washer was damaged and replaced at no cost.
	The bushings had been spot welded in. This is also a common practice.
	Another shot of the bushings. Also note that I missed a spot in the glass bead process. This is why I do it in two steps to insure that I do not miss spots. The next step is to remove all the components and return to the glass beader.
