Here's what I've got there:

HexBarEnd02

The gap next to the nylon washer also gets a shot of Tri-Flow and a wipe a few times a year. This keeps it moving freely.

The hex bar does have some freedom of movement, both left to right and axially, but would seem to need a little of both to keep from binding. If it's pushed off to one side, when the throttle cable is tensioned, it centers itself and doesn't drift around from that position.

So, this has always worked without a hitch for me, without introducing any synch problems. Maybe the key is just keeping it clean and lightly lubed?

Or paying really close attention to getting the downlinks truly vertical and the same on both sides? I can see how having them different would introduce different forces on each side and how that could make the two sides wear differently over time.
