Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel - DAMAGE?

Hello, I’m using a Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel with FM5. After a couple of hours using the wheel the motor had a mechanical breakdown and I shipped the base to Thrustmaster. Now I wonder about the behaviour of the repaired base. There is a little snapping/grating if I’m turning the wheel. Maybe every 5 degrees. Is this normal? I can’t remember how smooth it turned before it broke down :frowning:
