After replacing the rubber cushions every annual for three years (and adding the extra metal spacers under a 337) I gave up and put in the belville springs in place of the rubber cushions (type certificated under the Alon so only a 337 required). The tail has stayed at 75" ever since. It was a bit expensive for the parts but I am very glad I made the change.
