Here is the problem: one of the sides are just horrible, because it doesn't matter how loose it is, one of the center edges keeps "catching" one of the center pieces.
I tried to sand it a little but it just stays this way.

Can someone shed me any light about this problem?

I tried everything: reassembling, lubing it, lubing it with a different silicon, tightening it, loosening it...everything!

In my "rage" I bought a v-cube 5, but I'm just too stubborn to believe that this problem has no solution.

Any tips?
 
The strange thing: if the cube is solved you could actually say that there's no problem with this side, but after you make it unsolved, the catchy feeling starts...
Maybe it's a problem with the springs?
 
Actually... yes.
I had to unscrew (is that the correct word?) the orange side (the one with the problem) and them put everything back together. The problem is still there, but at a much less rate.
It's not perfect, as strangely sometimes during the solve this side has a very "tight" feeling, but it'll do. At least I can enjoy myself solving it, as the way it was I could say my puzzle had a horrible defect.

Well, I'm still looking for people who had the same problem as mine, but for now this YJ is a "B-".
