[quote=texastuma]With the fact the ball has moved on the post, I agree to buy/build a new ball. The thread should be pretty snug and using Loctite (red or blue) or thread tape will work well. I use a variety of lubricants for the ball; Super Lube, white PTFE, gear grease, and sun tan lotion. Yes, sun tan lotion. The cheap No Ad worked the best. We did some testing years ago on which sun tan lotion worked the best. Now, I use the PTFE or Super Lube; basically what ever I have in the box. I have a canvas cover that goes over the mast base while trailering to keep bugs and junk off the mast base. I also use an old Koozie to cover the mast ball so lubricant doesn't get on everything.[/quote]
