A mechanical link (100) comprises a shaft (102) having a central axis (128). At least a portion of a first end portion (104) of the shaft (102) is received within an opening (142) of a first mounting interface (108) with a clearance fit. The shaft (102) is rotatable and translatable relative to the first mounting interface (108). A second mounting interface (110) is threadably coupled with a second end portion (106) of the shaft (102). A tubular sleeve (114) circumscribes a portion of the shaft (102) and comprises a slot (116). A pin (112) extends from the shaft (102) and passes through the slot (116). A stop (124) is coupled with the second end portion (106) and fixed to the shaft (102). A washer (126) circumscribes a portion of the shaft (102) between the tubular sleeve (114) and the stop (124). A spring (122) biases the tubular sleeve (114) toward the stop (124). A first jam nut (132) is threadably coupled with the second end portion (106) between the second mounting interface (110) and the stop (124).
