IR8500 lines in lead edge erase area

[pudgi300]

Hi,
I have ir8500 that has line about .400 apart on the lead edge of copies in the erase area. I just replaced the developer drive idler shaft (zebra strips from bad bearing and gear shaft) . I was also in the drum area and put in new blade. What could i have done . The lines are like .400 of inch apart. Could my erase lamp be messedup?? I am getting proper erase on lead and trail edges except for the lines. Other then that the copies are coming out perfect. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like a separation issue. The paper rises and rubs against the drum assembly. Watch it as it runs under the drum and see if it lifts off the transoprt area under the drum.
