No, I do not believe there is enough force in at the jack center to bend
the pin during heavy playing. Pins are frequently bent in order to
space the jacks within the repetition lever window, though.<br><br>
These parts are very likely tightening up with use, which does
happen. Reaming and repinning them is a hassle, but it should be a
permanent solution.<br><br>
