Default How to remove binding from pushrods..

Well I'm doing some maintenance on my Xtra easy arf from hangar 9 and I'v had some servo growl ever since day one.
Now that I removed the engine I can see why, the throttle pushrod (metal rod in a tube) is in a constant arc between the firewall and the forward wing saddle area / bulkhead
Would it be acceptable to put a Z-bend right after the firewall so the arc won't be as great? Given it will still have to arc down the servo in the wing area.
Or would a Z bend remove some of the rigidity from the wire and make it like a spring?
Thanks!
