hub carrier damage

[alpi42]

Hi at all, after installing adjustable top mounts on my H&R suspension (they are like bilstein) the car makes hit sounds when driving over little edges. I changed all 4 drop links and saw this damage in the hole for the short link in the hub carrier, should I change it? I tested the Car very fast on the road an the Sound came back after one Week. The wishbones are new and I want Change the Others Ball joint in the Future.

The hole obviously shouldn't look like that. But I'm not really sure what I'm looking at. Is the part with the bolt a tie rod? If so there should be a sleeve around the lower part of the bolt. If that is missing the bolt has play which will lead to wear like in your photo.

Looks like it’s been left loose at some point, and that’s what has elongated the hole.
Clean the surfaces up, tighten properly, and it should be fine.

anti-rotation link has been loose...

could just put a nut and washer on and tighten it up

or maybe a little chemical metal in the ovulid hole to take it back to being round - clean & dress up with a file and then nut & washer nice and tight should be fine
