I have a 93 PQ legend 257, 502 with 300 hours took it out first time ran great mid to upper 50's fully loaded, brought it home did a visual inspection noticed one of the power trim rams was pushed back farther than the other, Its obvious the bushing in their is worn out I checked and found replacements on ebay, seems like a kit that replaces all 4 bushings the rod and some clips.
The real question is, is this normal wear OR should I be looking deeper into a cause? also their is what appears to be a plastic guildes and the one where the bushing is failing seems like its worn pretty bad and needs replaced too....???
thanks for any advise....

I would unhook the rams and have someone cycle the trim in and out and make sure both rams are functioning properly. I had a trim ram line plug solid once so one ram was moving the drive in and out and just dragging the other ram along for the ride. You'll want to replace those plastic glides. Cheap and easy.

Thanks for the tip, I will buy the guides and replace them as well!
