Thats all I can think of. Get rid of the grease and replace it with a small amount of Lithium grease.
Otherwise…a Feather Touch?

Yeah, reckon it's the bearings. Can't see any foreign matter but still have the feeling that the alignment is off a bit. Waiting for Stellarvue to reply - the owner is at a star party and won't be back for two more days.

Feather Touch isn't in the budget, but the excellent Stellarvue 2.5" focuser would be around $330 delivered, so we'll see.
