set the anti-skating to 0 balance the arm so it levitates then blow gently at the head shell side ways and up and down. The slightest airflow should be able to move the arm through the entire range of motion of the arm. If it is sticking then you have a bearing problem. On a JVC QL 2 they used fairly good bearings if they are not damaged you should be able to move the arm without any noticeable stiction. If that fails look into getting another arm or have the bearings rebuilt, at that point you might also want to rewire it. Also gently tugging and twisting the arm tube you should not be able to detect any play. If you do the bearings are loose.
