What the thread found

• Start with both spring tensions wound completely out to zero
• Add lift incrementally until both arm sections sit just below horizontal level
• When properly balanced, both sections should track and move together smoothly
• Springs are designed to be durable and do not wear out under normal use

Depends on

• The solution applies to systems using spring-based arm sections
• The specific setup involved black and blue springs with adjustable tension mechanisms
• Success in tracking depends on achieving the precise balance point slightly below horizontal
