I have a lot of play in the bushing for the pin that goes through the top of the trim ram. Should I replace the bushing with stock or try and find some bronze bushings? They really dont look worn but there is a lot of movement at the pin when you garb the lower unit and pull. I assume it would have to bronze to avoid dissimilar metal issues since I boat in salt. Where would I find bushings? Im think bearing supply place but any other suggestions appreciated. Ordered solid mounts today and just want everything tight.

Machining from bronze is the best way.
