Noisy top spindle

Hi all, I have a replacement case for the PS2 that includes the top spindle as part of the case. When I put the cover on, the drive works but makes some very unpleasant noises.

The original drive cover, naturally, doesn't have this problem.

Is this a common problem with the chinese replacement cases? If so, is it fixable, or do I need to buy another, or what?

I have the fliptop but it doesn't make any noises check the part that comes down on the disk make sure it is in the slot good and make sure the case is seated good. Good luck
