Can you identify this part and does it look like it needs replaced?

Thanks for your question. These type of pivot shoes are no longer made. However, we feel our 15-070 could do the trick in repairing your window. Look it over and see what you think.

The 15-170 works well for Thermal Guard windows. However I have found for older windows, sanding the 15-070 shoe down slightly on the back and sides is a big help. I believe this minor modification may be necessary due to the expansion and contraction of the metal balance/shoe pocket itself. Like for any brand of window,cleaning and lubricating the pivot shoe pocket with silicone spray is a must. This will insure the new shoes function smoothly, and also improves overall performance.
