Hi there! My 8 year old direct drive washing machine was making a screeching sound spinning in one direction. I ordered a new clutch assembly and successfully replaced it. Upon reassembly the tub ring is slightly interfering with the balance ring and will carve a groove out of the balance ring if I don’t do something. I tightened everything properly (I thought).[br]

The problem is identical to the problem referenced [https://www.reddit.com/r/appliancerepair/comments/i6mnxs/lg_wt5001cw_with_new_clutchbearing_assy_now_has/|HERE]
And shown in images/videos [https://smile.amazon.com/photos/shared/rzyk7rsuQp6A1C3-iWTJxA.pKxMxyJOzlclojsKEo15wy?sa-no-redirect=1|HERE]
One thought I had is to simply shave down the tub ring slightly to prevent interference, but it would be great to know why this misalignment might happen. Thank you!
