I've noticed that the slide unit on the x-axis linear rail of my M2 has started to wobble. I was just wondering where I can get a replacement slide unit, or if there is a better way to fix this problem.

Yes, I do oil the rail.
Re: X-Axis Wobble
The rail itself doesn't look like it's moving. What is actually doing the wobbling? The car? The mount?

Re: X-Axis Wobble
From what I can tell, the car is the part that is wobbling
Re: X-Axis Wobble
As jimc said, simplest place to get a replacement is MakerGear. Just figure out what needs replacing first.
