Just an update on the mushroom comment: I bought new nuts and installed them today (service manual recommends replacing with new nuts everytime they are removed) just in case reusing the old ones might have caused slippage. The old nuts were still holding in the max negative position when I removed them but I replaced them anyway and inspected the mushrooming. It isn't truly mushroomed; the thread of the bolt just bites into the metal leaving an indentation at the surface. Past the surface, the actual slot itself isn't mushroomed (though the illusion is there).
