Do you have the means to check if it is straight by setting it on some V blocks and rotating it by hand and measuring with a DTI ?

Most ballscrews I have bought are bent and need straightening. You can do it yourself with a hydraulic press but best to send them away to a specialist.
It was th first thing came to my minnd when i saw it from the video. Actually I am out of city and did not check it on V blocks. But I will. It is a rolled ball screw so it will be hard to check the straighntess
on the ball screw grooves with a standard dial gage contact point (ball point). I need a flat point which will float on the rolled screw pitch grooves rather than entering inside.
Something like this.
