Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

So is that just "replace this bushing when it wears out prematurely instead of getting the updated mounting kit"?
That's all I did yes. I was able to prove it was the grommet by gently lifting the motor up which resulted in the squeezing going away.
Short term fix while I waited for delivery, was I swapped the lower and upper grommet as the lower one was my issue part while the upper was still good.
It's been working without noise issues since last winter.
This all is too exciting for Dull Men's Club.
Sorry, I shall tone it down.
Turns out mine was the motor. Already has the updated mounting orientation, looks like it was built that way. As you know, it's a pretty easy job. I spent more time looking for an Allen key and then trying to extract that Allen key from the set screw for the squirrel cage than anything else.
