Hmmm... sounds logical enough. I have checked the bottom 4 bolts to ensure they are snug. It's almost time for another rebuild. Just noticed last weekend that the felt seals are starting to weep just a tad. I have been about 100,000 miles since the last rebuild. So, it sounds like it's about time to have fun again

Remember it's a gateway drug, so it will actually lead to "crystal meh".
