I installed my side bearing blocks and noticed the fit is really tight as far as moving the tube when it's inserted into the blocks. I lightly sanded the holes and the tube which helped a bit.
I put everything in place, including my center bearing block, installed my nut plates and tightened everything down. The motion of the torque tube feels tight...not sure what that means though. Almost too tight IMHO.
When I sight down the tube (side to side), I see a slight bend in the tubes at the side bearing blocks. Not a straight line across. Considering adding shims and longer bolts at the side bearing blocks to bring everything in line.
I must not of had the side blocks in the exact position when I drilled the holes for the center block. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe
