Its the forward A frame post, just in front of the Mast. Take a look at the bottom and see if there are 4 or 2 pop rivets holding in the screw assembly. The issue is the number of rivets. The 2 rivet post is OK, the 4 rivet post has the problem. By drilling and inserting 4 rivets, to much of the material was removed making it weaker.

yup, mine has the old 4 rivet post

I didn't see a way to check corrosion on the inside though

guess you just wait til it breaks?
