Is the end plate stamped steel, or is it cast iron? I have seen a bent steel end plate, and with a new busing it would bind because the bushing was no longer in perfect alignment. Check the end plate to be sure it's fully seated all the way around. Some end plates have a pin and slot for correct alignment, or it may have an upset and notch in the barrel for alignment, and it really messes things up when people start doing dumb things to the parts so they can mix and match parts not meant to fit each other.
