I bought an aerator and after I put it together, I noticed that my top link won't fit. The manufacturer says that:
There may be alot of this type out there, but the standard would be closer to 1 3/4 inches wide without the bushing extending out past the ball joint.

I looked on the TSC web site and all the top links look like they have the bushings on the ball joint. Are there bushing-less top links readily available?

They need to improve that design. I've never seen a top link narrow enough to fit in that small space. What are the two pieces of angle held on by? Welded?

It's bolted together. In an email today, I told them that they ought to review the design cause it's really dumb. I think I'll just jigger it to see if I can use my usual top link.
