no, I’m not positive. I’m going to press the other side out tomorrow and compare how it lines up, that side runs beautifully with nearly no resistance.
I’m not really excited to pull the strut unless I really have to so fingers crossed. What I can say is the ‘bad’ side is enough off center in the shaft log that is easily noticeable from about 10’ away so I’m really hoping that’s the issue
I haven’t pressed the new bearing in either so I could try and shift the engine a bit and see if it helps with the strut alignment.
Does the shaft stay in the same place when rotated?
