Hi Again, I tried the suggestions here, but unfortunately have not helped me. Please see the vids: http://youtu.be/ROY6RoNOyEk http://youtu.be/HgflI7X_pyE I checked the coupling, the stepper shaft is almost touching the rod, so i made the standoffs a little bit longer, but didn't help much.

I am not home right now, I will try it out and post a video with my setup. I did try tighting one screw at a time, it made it very smooth to to turn, but the wobble is what I want to fix. Nevertheless, it is 100% better than the stock, so worth It.
