Troubleshooting

Linkage feels stiff after installation

Ensure all components are clean and properly lubricated. Verify that collars and bearings are seated correctly and not binding. Check that the pins are straight and not causing misalignment. Overtightening can also cause stiffness; consult service manual for correct torque specifications.

New bearings wear out quickly

Confirm that the correct seals were installed and are functioning properly to prevent contamination. Ensure the linkage is not being subjected to excessive stress or impact beyond its design limits. Verify correct installation torque to avoid premature wear.

Difficulty seating components

Ensure all mating surfaces are clean. Use appropriate tools for pressing bearings and seating seals. Slight warming of metal components or cooling of bearings can sometimes aid in seating, but use caution to avoid damage.
