CG-4 Problem

I purchased a CG-4 several years ago, but have only used it a few times. Recently, while using it with a short focus 5" achromat, I noticed that the piece on the Dec. shaft where the dovetail bar attaches is just a "tiny" bit loose. This part is apparently attached to the lower section of the declination shaft by a bolt, which itself does not move. Has anyone else run across this problem with their CG-4?
