My 30 y/o american standard shower was leaking. It’s the one with the short stubby “innards” with a rubber nipple on the end. I replaced the nipple and now I have reduced flow out of the faucet. What might I have done wrong? It looked like a no brainer repair, maybe that was the problem.

First check whether you knocked some crud loose, or maybe a screw got loose inside the unit.
