There should be lateral play in that pushrod--If I was in you situation I would do the same thing-The pilot-in-command is ultimately responsible for the safety of the flight and I would think any structural squaks would be a giant red flag coming up--i.e. the bending sound.

Can you get a second opinion from a different mechanic?
