I've always thought that in some situations the slop between the sections in crank-ups is NOT friendly to rotators. The antenna comes to a sudden stop up against the UN-moveable bottom section, whereas with a guyed tower there is more of a gentle twisting cushioning effect.

Not to say that's the cause of the OP's problem, just a comment.

between the sections that permit some rotation between them.
