Gunslinger Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Studebaker made available a new mounting stem that dealers could get from a parts depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdenno Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Could be, but there was a factory recommended "fix" for existing loose stems Any idea what that was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 That would be the use of a small washer on each ball stud and a small amount of heavy grease. It was apparently a stopgap until the new stem was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdenno Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The washers were the fix listed in a service letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschuc Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 thanks... didn't know that service letter fix.... (I probably would have used duct tape!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 What I did was wrap some teflon tape around the ball stud and tighten the stem up...but I have a non-standard mirror but the teflon tape fix works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
