I just completed a 5,000 mile "Great American Road Trip", driving from AZ through IL, TN, NC, TN, TX and home again (the states were destinations - obviously I touched some in between).
The coach was great, other than a busted ignition switch in Illinois ($17 for the in-stock replacement at NAPA), and a bad piece of fuel line to my generator (free, since it was in the last few inches). But there was a light front end vibration, and more play in the steering than I'd like, though a whole lot better than before I tightened up the steering box.
So today I rotated the tires, and while the fronts were off, I decided to look for anything loose. What I found is that my steering relay arm seems to have quite a bit of play in it. I put together the following video that clearly shows the problem (ignore the caption referring to the RIGHT arm, it was the left one).

My questions:
1) Do you think this is enough to cause the vibration and/or slop in the steering?
2) Is it possible to home-rebuild the relay arm, or is this only a shop deal (I do have a 12-ton press and a surplus of free time).
3) What's actually inside the center pivot now (assuming it's original)? Is it a brass or rubber bushing?
Any input would be most appreciated...
