Oh yeah, that's right - the compensator spring cup is known sometimes to weaken, so the rotor will start rocking on the splines, eventually falling apart. Happened to me, on '93 decker btw

This is the problem with rattling hollow metal units - sounds can come from anywhere. Few times I heard from big wrenches when they refuse even to use a mechanical stethoscope: "it's not gonna help here"
