A device and approach to ensure acceptable alignment of internal mechanical components requiring bushings. Over wide ranges of temperature, some bushings experience sufficient thermal dimensional change as to misalign or to interfere with other mechanical components. Such bushings may be reduced in size or include a plurality of outer surfaces to avoid interference, and employ ball nose assemblies to maintain acceptable alignment. At full thermal expansion of such a bushing, the ball nose assembly inter-relates with the bushing so as to maintain alignment without interference.
