It seems that everytime I disassemble 25A legs, the hips end up becoming loose despite me carefully placing the rubber friction pads back in place. Any solutions?

Every time I take thighs apart, I glue the pad in place. Some times I put too much glue, others I put just enough. Can't say I've had any problems at all either way.

I make a shim out of .010" thick sheet styrene, to put behind the polycap. Seems to help.

The drop of glue goes into the outer leg half? I'll give it a try.

I put a drop of superglue on each side of the leg half, let it dry and then put em back on. I haven't had any problem with it and they get tight but not too.
