The stanchion looks a bit worn, which might mean it doesn’t get on too well with a new top bushing- mate of mine let his get like that and it jammed up with a new one fitted, had to rebuild with the old one.
TBH the fix is fairly likely to be simple, lots of cleaning out etc. But if any of the guides or bushings are worn out I’d suggest getting a whole new stanchion- they’re not expensive and it comes with loads of new parts. Also, if you go down that route give some thought to whether you want multi-height drop, it’s a weakness in the design as the extra hole is a monster stress riser, makes the post more likely to break- though still not weak.
I’d slightly worry that the problem might be related to the re-fixed Turbo mechanism… If it’s squint, or if the adhesive got somewhere it shouldn’t. But even then, at worst that means breaking it off and refitting.
I reckon it’ll be fixable, and not too expensive to do so, but might be a wee bit of a niggle in the meantime. Good luck!
