So I was wrong about that crack - it’s manufactured that way so that the sphere can be installed. Makes sense now that it was explained to me. Anyway, got new pins and bushings. After cleaning up and measuring the bronze shims, I’ll need those as well, and whoever did this job last time, didn’t use enough shim on the bottom section, which is probably where a lot the felt wiggle was coming from.View attachment 406028
Found the wiggle in my center bushings: lower one has a cracked housing, and play between the sphere and the race. Pin was also just slightly stepped. Upper was good, but I’m putting in both pins and bushings.

Off to the parts house now for all the shiny stuff!
