I think I may look at dissassembly and maybe apply a little polishing and de-burring to get the feel I want.

So which one did you get? Link? I ordered mine from BUYAUTOPARTS.com through their ebay posting on Monday. One of their warehouses is in San Diego so UPS says it will arrive on Wed.

I'd try the adjustment screw before trying disassembly and polishing. Also, how "tight" are you talking about? It may feel tight by hand but compared to the force needed to turn the wheels it's probably small. What really matters is the resistance (friction) under load which would be hard to test off the car. Also, there may be a break-in period. If you do disassemble be sure to take/share some pictures. Finally, is the center tube black or metal/silver?
