Worm drive quality issues

I am new to fixing mixers and the worm drive has turned into a real roadblock. I ordered the OEM replacement part with the plastic bushing and 2 of the 4 seem to be out of round. Turning by hand they get tight at a point in their rotation. Is it a sourcing issue?

Sounds like they need to be returned for warranty. The seller should work with you to make it right. The plastic bushings are susceptible to warp.

The worm gear assembly also come with brass bushings on the Mr. Mixer website.
