The bathroom sink stopper has been slipping lately and found out why when i was cleaning the sink. Pulled out the ball joint/pivot rod and found it had completely rusted through.
Bought a new plastic tipped joint rod but now there is a very subtle leak that comes through the ball joint so now I’m needing to replace the rubber and nylon washers. The whole assembly is pretty old and rusted but id prefer not to replace the tailpiece
Good on ya fella. If u hadnt responded with a fix I would have told u not to waste your time mixing and matching. Usually more efficient to just replace the whole assemble. These items are generally not very universal between manufactures and after market parts.
