2001, alpha 1 gen2. I have play in power tilt cylinders pin, can feel movement when lifting on drive. Appears wear is in aluminum drive housing and gimbal ring not on stainless steel pins. Replaced all the plastic bushings in the trim cylinders but didnt help at all. Checked gimbal hinge pins and they are solid. Can this be repaired with a brass sleeve or something like that?

If you're good with a drill, then you could open up the holes in the gimbal ring very slightly and fit a couple of the plastic bushes they use in the rams.
