The weldment distorts the straight tube, then the bushings are inserted in the ends and NOT straight reamed. Hence, the steel rod will not rotate freely and hangs. I went through this with Rob and Vern over the last several months and three different units just to have to use my own straight reamer to finish the job. I was hoping I was wrong in my suspicions but every GM 27 sent to me failed to pass muster. The third one came close but not perfect. So if you are still buying these from the factory, you may be getting the ones I rejected. Jim Auman
