I had too much play in the yoke tube and upon inspection noticed that these bearings had lost their plastic coating, thus rubbing metal on metal. The plastic coating is not available as a stand alone item. The bearings from Robair have a more robust plastic coating.

The RobAir bearing caps are Delrin rather than nylon. Delrin has the edge when it comes to wear.

Thanks…I’ll double-check the play/grind on the yokes, now that I know what abnormal is!
