[CAUT] Servicing guide rail bushings

[Cramer, Mark]

Stan, 

did you replace the damper action? If it's still teflon, any damaged underlever bushings will jiggle around and cause symptoms similar to what you describe, regardless of the condition of the bushing cloth.

	And a quick way to lubricate an existing system is, with action out  
of cavity, press the pedal down and run a paint brush loaded with  
prolube along the wires above the guiderail. The lubricant will go  
into the felt as well as coat the wires. I think it is a good idea  
always to have lubricant in the guiderail bushing system.
