Quoted from Gahendo:Anyone have a fix for the jeep sticking? Mine has started acting up recently. Ive checked level and wiped down all the parts.
In addition to what CoolCatPinball posted...take a look at the ball at the end of the jeep looking down the playfield eye level at the ball drain. Look for the clearance of the ball to the playfield...Over time, the 4 rubber rings may wear or if you added different rings (Titans's) they may have compressed slightly...The rings take a deflect balls, but they also maintain keeping the kinetic ball perpendicular to the main shaft.
The thread of the kinetic ball is limited to just allow a little play and slack when tightened fully on the nut, so in a sense the 4 rings prop the ball up and keep the crosspiece lateral to the playfield and prevent it from dragging.
So you can either replace the rings with 4 new ones or add a 5th ring
I added a 5th ring s and now the ball sits where it should from the factory and doesn't bind/drag on the playfield.
