The housing in the end cap has fractured and brush bar vibrating badly. Replaced end cap but it fractured again. Suspect brush bar may be slightly distorted due to initial end cap damage but would welcome any advice.
Developed a strong vibration from the brush bar area. Found that the housing on the left side end cap (looking from the back of hoover) which fits into the brush bar had fractured. Replaced the end cap and cleaned out the end of the brush bar, albeit the end was rather rough I suspect due to the previously mentioned damaged. Whilst the end cap did turn when fitted onto the brush bar it certainly did not swing freely as shown on the Dyson replacement video. After hoovering half a room the vibration returned and examination revealed that the housing on the end cap had sheared again. Before I purchase a new brush bar and another end cap am I on the right lines or is there some other issue I am not picking up on? Grateful for any advise you can give me

It sounds like the brush spindle may be damaged and if this has resulted in the moulding that located the bearing becoming worn and loose if this is not repaired as well the problem is likely to return. Examine and replace any worn damaged or suspect parts to prevent the chance of future failure.
