I see this a LOT. In fact, I have seen several where the core has
rotted/decayed so much that whatever the rod screws into is just gone; the
rod falls out if you turn it upside down. I just RTV it into place and I've
never seen one die from it (although all of mine get light use). It can't
be "good" but doesn't appear to be "bad". Besides; what choice do you have?
