I did remove the bottom bracket cartridge from the frame and that is how I measured it to determine that the spindle has moved sideways.

I do have a lot of experience with mechanical "things" I am 61-yo, have been a mechanic most of my life, and my specialty is building motorcycle racing engines. Though I'm not a professional bicycle mechanic, I've rebuilt many since my first in 1972.

Anyway, I plan on taking the spindle apart using a hydraulic press so I can see what's inside.
I'll be disappointed if I see that it is a straight shaft without any steps to keep the assembly on center in the bearing races.

I'm not too concerned with any warranty, just trying to understand how a press fit spindle can move from side to side so easily.
