I do check the car flor slop regularly, and might make an adjustment to the arms once a night. Like any other part after getting slammed enough times you might want to replace it to reduce the slop (usually at the same time you replace inner hinge pins)

I am wondering if you could insert them slightly off center (or maybe this is happening by really cranking them down)?

I am wondering if most the people having the issue upgraded from a TC5 (or otherwise came across TC5 parts). I know I have a lot of the arm mounts left over and might have thrown in some TC5 ones instead. Obviously the new ones have a new part number (because they includes the 0s), perhaps there is a slight difference in hole size to match the new blue inserts (which I haven't seen a part number for)?

Different inserts, won't work, and can't accidently mix them up that it doesn't become instantly obvious. The TC5 ones have internal threads. The TC6 ones are smooth bore.
