    Unhappy My porter cable xp is crapping out!!!

    So the bushings in my pcxp are going and ive only had it 6 months. Should I send it in or just buy a flex 3401? Has this happened to anyone else this soon(ive only done 10 cars with it). Feedback please :-(

    Wow, only 6 months? How many 'miles' do you have on it?

    I say this respectfully but, is the washer on the backing plate(s)?

    No, this is not normal at all....

    How do you know it's the bushings?

    Could something have loosened up? I'm not implying that any of this is normal but it's worth a check..

    Bottom line is yes, get it fixed under warranty.
