Looking forward to the experience of others

Graeme, it is most likley that your lower bearings have siezed due to
corrosion and the shafts are now rotating in the inner plastic
race which is wearing, hence the increase in movement.
You can replace the original sperical bearings which I did, but if I did it again I think I would machine up some solid bearings out of
bronze which should last a lot longer.
