If it gets to bothering you Tom, you will need to pull the column apart and replace the bearings. There is an upper and a lower. The lower one is usually fine, but the upper needs replaced occasionally. Look on Pelican Parts website, the upgrade for the upper bearing has a 928 part number.
Not too hard to do, probably a 4 on the 1-10 scale. Good luck and keep us updated! |
