Kodiak,
Someone who tells you if the "cam rubs the limb is too much" is feeding you a line. What we archers refer to as cam-lean has little or nothing to do with the cam alignment. In reality it's limb twist caused by the cable slide/rod. That's why we can correct it by twisting one side the cable yoke.
Problem is that with a binary cam system there is no yoke to twist and the cam was rubbing the inside of the limb. They were feeding me a line that cam lean is designed into the binary cam until I told them about the cam rubbing. Then they back tracked and admitted there was a problem. The culprit was mis-drilled axle holes on both the upper and lower limb. Solution: new limbs, which BowTech made every excuse not to send, and still hasn't.
I reread my post and see I forget to mention about the crooked axle holes which you just did mention. In my experiece the only way a cam can rub the inside of the limb fork is if the axle holes were drilled crooked or the cam was machined wrong and the bearing is crooked.
Some people sometimes mention about the bearing being worn out, but I've never really seen a bearing wear out. They are precision insruments and in a bow are not subjected to any high speed movement so it's not going to just wear out. Bushings? Yeah, they did wear out, but for the most part this is bygone technology---at least on quality bows today.
I do know what you are saying about no yoke on a binary cam system. I shoot a Martin FireCat with binaries. Yes, if there is any cam lean you're stuck with it. That's one reason I always advise people looking at new bows to look things over real good, shoot the bow, and if everything is up to snuff then buy that particular bow, not something they haven't laid eyes on.
Hope somehow you get your bow fixed. I had a Pearson like that once and it sucked. They were good enough to send me new limbs though. Maybe that's what customer service is all about.
