What do you mean? Those look absolutely fine to me.

Could use a little grease maybe.

Just pack it with silicone, let it dry and it should be as good as new ;-)

2ents here..
The only thing I can't really tell from your photo is if the metal sleeves are still centered in the rubber (upper right). When I tore mine apart they had migrated a good 1/4" to one side, no doubt from the weight sitting on them for 30 years. I went with the vernier type anyway so I didn't spend much time on the implications of the "wandering" but didn't look good to me!

If you fill it with Epoxy it is bound to improve the handling.
