Question for anyone: I assembled the RV-14 control column assembly today with the bolts, washers and needed shims. I torqued the left side AN3 bolt to 28 inch lbs and the assembly continued to move freely. When I torqued the right side to 28 inch lbs the assembly became stiff and stuck in whatever position I left it in. Therefore, I removed a shim on that side, re-torqued, and continue to have the same problem. Next move was to back off the torque 1 inch lb at a time. I’m at 24 inch lbs with free movement. Does anyone know if this is acceptable w/ the AN3 bolt I’m using and the MS21042-3 lock nut?
