Look at the nut on the pushrod, way too many threads, is it an AN or hardware store?

If you do, find the best DAR with a ton of RV experience and have him remove every inspection plate, cover, and look at everything in the ship including inside the wings stab with a scope.
I think that "pushrod" is the handle on the mirror used to look at the bracket in question.
Normally, during a prebuy the contract to buy is contingent upon the aircraft being completely issue free and ready to fly.
Negotiate a better price on the plane with a full list of discrepancies.
Option A: The seller can choose to fix them all to your satisfaction himself.
OR
Option B: Lower the price based on estimates you get to fix all these things with the mechanic of your choice.
Sale would be contingent on an agreement to A or B. Likely this happens with every aircraft purchase. Sometimes the seller is not interested and won't negotiate, hoping for an emotional buyer to come along or they feel they've already lowered the price to account for work that needs to be done.
The seller seems to be really angry about the pre buy. He doesn't want to move forward since there is a problem with the plane. I don't think he realizes that it IS a serious problem.

The mechanic quoted $5,000 to fix. I was hoping someone here has seen this before and could recommend a more cost effective way to address it.
