I recently got my left side to stop chattering on the up stroke by
twisting the arm a little to change the angle of the blade, so that it
would flip properly.
It's very stiff steel and does not change shape easily.  I used two
cresent type wrenches on the thin part of the arm and avoided stressing
the other parts.

Now if I could just get my washers to squirt...  Had a challenging drive
into a Michigan snowstorm Thanksgiving morning.
