I am trying to verify stabiilator cable tensions for getting to the bottom of an autopilot altitude tracking issue In a D model aztec. Its straight forward without the briddle cable installed. However, when the briddle cable is installed at 17 lbs, the tensions go up accordingly on the high tension side and down on the low tension side. It essentially puts both side out of spec, one on the high end and one on the low end. Its this cormrect? I wish i had the autopilot install manual. Its a 55x.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff
