I guess it is true that it has been a mess for a while, those gouges didn't just happen over night. I was originally thinking that it was a race (i.e the balls were running on it), but it isn't, just a housing. The top and bottom bearings control the motion. I haven't looked at these guys, but they must be in sorry shape since housing was really moving around in all dimensions.
I will clean it up see if things go back together nicely. Maybe even get the proper length bolts.
I do need to figure out what that large chuck of metal is though. Could be important to something.
We are still in proof-of-concept phase here.
Thanks.
