You might have bent your axle. Try replacing it. I don’t think a Gnarwhal has a floating axle, so tuning won’t help. I think.

The Gnar does have a floating axle. You can try to move it around some. If u hit it too hard you might be out of luck though. You can also try the tape trick. If you tape the axle with a small amount of teflon tape sometimes can do the trick. I have never used the tape trick but I have heard it works wonders. Just trie moving the axle around some and see if that helps. You might also try a few different bearings as well.

Oh… Okay, so try replacing the axle, taping it, and then tuning it.
