I have a new to me 2018 T450. When tracking especially when turning there is clunking noise which sounds like it's coming from the front idler. Upon inspection the idlers are in good shape but there's 3/8"-1/2" gap in the idler pocket where the idlers could be slopping up and down. My experience with bigger equipment is the pocket can wear and you weld shims in to tighten it back up.

I can't find any spec on what that gap should be and I don't have any other bobcat track equipment around to compare. Can anyone advise what that gap should be and if anyone else has had this problem?
