Ya, I noticed the same. After you install them, rap in the yoke (not
too hard, as you can mess it up) This will set the caps back tight
against the ring and give a few thousands clearance for grease movement
inside the main piece. I don't think the tightness is a problem, since
any real use will settle all the parts where they need to be.
Just my 2cent.
