      Chuck:  Who is doing the rebuild?

        Axles, all Bus Axles get worn on the paddles. An old trick is to flip 
them. (use the one on the left on the right and vice-versa)

        Make sure you change out your fulcrum plates regardless.
        You could probably just get a good rebuilt bug center section and have 
the shop flip the R&P
        but if they'll be under $400 it may not be a bad deal. At least if they 
know what they're doing.
