Mathewsboy · 09-05-2009, 02:05 PM

I put my bow in a press and took string off and noticed some play in my idler wheel and my cam.. play as in rocking left and right.. Is this normal? its not alot of play, but I'm wondering if there should be ANY at all.. thanks

You probably need new bushings... you can bandaid it with spacers... but you ought to replace them. Covered under warranty.

They have roller bearings, if there is allot of play , you can replace them , I did in my old q2 , the top wheel got a new roller bearing , great bow by the way

I found a lot of wear in the limb holes myself with older bow like you got there. Not much you can do if that happens except cherry pick axles. On one PSE I had, I actually had a friend make a set of axles for me .01" oversized, and I used an emory cloth and drill to size it perfectly. Just hope its the bushings.
