    Hey robomasters,

    Recently had crazy issues with autoleveling being horribly wrong for big parts.
    Discovered that the culprit probably was the broken Y axis pillow block.

    So, at this point, should I replace both pillow blocks and the linear bearings?
    Or just replacing the broken pillow block should do the trick?

    Your call. I would print a replacement for both so you have it if you need.

    edit: Probably best to replace both since you are going to need to do the full tear down even if you only do one. Also since you have it torn down absolutely replace the bearings.
