There was likely supposed to be a nylon bushing in there in which the

Coulda been I reckon, but there weren't any remnants of it and IIRC it
was a fairly tight fit.

Been working fine for a little over a year... maybe it was a "pocket
bushing"...

What brand/model? It would seem to me an unlikely design to rely only
on a lubricant for a metal-metal rub point as well as the general desire
in washer/dryer to avoid any way could potentially end up w/ grease on
clothes. Anything's possible, of course, just seems like would likely
been something different originally.
