The stiction in my torque tube was caused by binding at the thrust
bearings. Easily rectified by shaving a couple of thou off. I used
normal automotive grease and elevator control has been very smooth
since.

Bob,

What type of grease do you use in that setup? Did it make a big
difference in 
the smoothness or ease of movement?
