I tried replacing the fiber washer first, before I replaced the damper
rods. It didn't help. Another problem too is that the new damper rods (I
think I got them from Moss) had less threading than the older, probably
original, damper rods. This would make the use of a thicker washer,
including rubber, not possible.
