bolt or bearing has the play??


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

The dog bone plates should clamp on a tube, the tube runs in the bearings. All the bolt does is clamp so you should have no play whatsoever.

You sure you didn't dislodge some needles
