OF Foreman - X Axis Alarm - Stiffy Bearing Interference

Our OF has been running without issue for several months.

Today, upon start-up, the Homing process flags an X-axis alarm. Upon inspection, we see the stiffy bearing appears to be preventing the X axis from homing. In other photos on this forum, it actually appears like the stiffy bearing has been dislodged. (I need confirmation please.)

To look in the other end of the stiffy bearing I see a fastener which I thought was securing the stiffy bearing in this position, but upon closer inspection, it may be a dislodged screw which has jammed the stiffy bearing and dislodged it.

Any advice?


The bearing is definitely sliding out on your top stiffy rail and not installed correctly. Take the stiffy off and put the bearing back in it’s place.
