Hi Yall,

Replaced a set of elbows yesterday with new plastic ones, (that had been in 
my car for about 2yrs.or so). Now some of the keys are sluggish etc.
Would lubricating the bushing of the elbow help cure?

No lost motion , also two of the whippen parts where the elbow pins to the 
action broke(sh**)! What would be the best way to repair without pulling 
action?
Thanks,
