I took some pictures.  You can find them here.

It may be a nylon washer, although it appears to be a flanged bushing like a 
car's relay rod bushing.  I haven't taken it apart yet to find out for sure.  I 
have a few other FC's but haven't had to deal with boomerangs on them.  I 
checked under them and the setup I have on the van and it does not look stock.  
Once truck was worn but the play was more of a rocking back and forth movement.  
The play in this joint on the van is more like too big of a hole for the 
stud...hotdog down the hallway effect. It just bangs back and forth, but the 
stud feels like it's not floppy.
 
From the looks of it, I'll be replacing the boomerang soon. Seems like 
someone here on the list was rebuilding them.  I know it's covered in the tech 
guide, but I'd rather not deal with it myself.  I have a couple of cores to do.
 
Thanks for the advice
