I have a 2348 that I use for kind of rugged stuff. I am going through the front end and found that the axle bushings are pretty sloppy and lets the axle move a lot of directions I don't think it was designed for? I have it out but I'm not sure if the axle is worn or the bushings. Anyone have experience with that?

Are you referring the fit of 4 and 5 in item 2 of the following diagram? IF so there is fix for it but it take some reaming as the plastic nylon bushings are shot. They would need to be removed and brass/bronze ones installed and reamed.
