Yep...It really seems associated with the head movement, and only in 
one direction (away from Park).  Kinda like the wobbly wheel on a 
grocery cart - mildly annoying but not broken.

I would prefer to use a dry lube and think a trip to True Value might 
produce something to use.  Reason being is the bar, if using any 
oils, would accumulate paper dust over time and add friction (I 
presume).

Thanks for the replies all...still working on it (slowly).
