My Bx24 has about 600 hrs and I have been using the FEL 80% of the time vs 20% for the backhoe.
Today I have noticed that the bottom right side of the fel bucket is wearing out faster than the left side. Puzzled by this discovery I investigated further and found out that the right vertical bracket sitting on the frame (near deck) is a bit loose. For instance when lifting the bucket all the way to the upper position the left bracket would stay perfectly still however the right bracket would move about a quarter of an inch backwards just before the bucket reaches its highest point....
Don't know if this makes sense... But basically the right arm is a bit lower than the left until it is raise to its maximum height.
I am on my way to my local dealer tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone else have noticed this problem on their BX24?
Thank you.
(I'll try to post a small video tomorrow)

BX24 2.5 years old
mostly move gravel, sand, dirt, fire wood and snow. Never tried to lift anything heavier than a load of gravel.
Frame does not seem bent, tire pressure is good, never hit anything hard.
