The Cessna 120-140 Association Forum

I have a 1946 Cessna 140 serial number 9440. Going through the annual, mechanics found the aileron push rods bent more than they think is normal. The parts book shows a slight bend. Has anyone else have these issues?

My 'bend' is closer to the bellcrank FWIW. Cycle the controls and you will see how much clearance you need for the rod end in the bellcrank and the clearance of the rod in that square-ish slot that it passes thru to the aileron.
