Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

Ok, so the mech on these is fastened with e-clips...and not tightly. Can these eclipse be tightened? It doesn't look that way, as the appear to click into a groove. There is a lot of side to side play of the fork due to the mech being loose. How do I adjust this sothe fork cannot move from side to side in the shooter lane?

Before bending the forks remove the eclip and bend the U shaped mount to take out the side to side play.
This adjustment has to be done first or you are wasting your time adjusting the forks.
Look at the forks first to determine which way to bend the tabs to shift the forks.
You have to do this on every Stern the side to side slop changes the launch on every ball.

Quoted from RacerRik:

Those plastic bushings are junk! I am certainly not a Stern basher since I love my AC/DC, but I could not help thinking that Bally/Williams would have used a brass bushing there and I would not be making this thing myself....

If you call any mech or part on a Stern junk you will be called a Stern basher.
Don't say anything negative about Stern even if it is true.
Woz is even worse one question and you start a category 5 sh!tnado and the thread is locked.

Stern rocks! Each game better than the one before and it ain't the booze talkin' I really mean it.
