why does this squeak?

Because if you look in the cap...there's a grey flap that you pull up for cleaning inside the cap and there is a spring inside and that's what squeaks.

I would say probably try to go a little tighter to see if it stops the squeak if it doesn't maybe take the screw out reproduction a little and then reinstall.

Yes and no. The chair doesn't squeak but the arms do. They work themselves loose overtime. No big deal. Remove rubber stopper, tighten with included hex, and problem goes away. I suppose I could use some thread lock, but I haven't gotten around to it.

I've had mine for roughly two years and have never had a problem with squeaking or anything else for that matter (after the intitial installation problems were worked out). I would call for service, hopefully still covered by a warranty.

Ours works great, no squeaks at all and it's has over 150 hours of use so far. We do regularly spray the inside if the deck with the silicon spray.

The big one is super soft! It squeaks though and I find that to be annoying.

It can be adjusted but I am not sure about the squeaking. I don't have that problem as long as I have it on a level floor it is quiet. When not on a level floor it makes a noise but not squeaking.

Mine doesnt squeak! The springs provided with this swing are very high quality. My lack of squeak may be how it's hung -- I have heavy chain wrapped around an iron pipe, and the springs are hooked into this. Perhaps other methods of hanging will create more noise. I suggest trying it out and then evaluating your need for squeak suppression.

Mine squeaked when turning the crank, so to quiet it down, I rubbed some candle wax on the circular wood surface in contact with the bottom of the metal turn crank (the metal surface rubs on the wood surface when the crank is turned).

No problem, I have been sitting on mine daily for several months, and never even a squeak! I was breaking regular seats every three months or so, especially the hinges, but not this one, doesn't budge. I still want to get another one for the upstairs bath, just saving my pennies. You will be satisfied, I'm sure.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

No it does not squeak. If your dog is a heavy duty chewer - and can destroy toys - they will be able to destroy this one.

I have had no problems with squeaking or anything with this foundation. Mine is currently on the floor though, not on a bed frame.

It squeaks and clacks like any pack frame unless you quiet down the load. Tie things tight or use a rag or cover the parts that make noise.

It's evidently not a sound audible to most humans. I can hear it. There's a very slight dry-rubbing sound caused by friction when it moves against different surfaces. I must have really good ears :P

Mine squeak, other than that I have no issues. I am using them on the rear of a jeep xk to provide an additional 1" lift, so your application and experience may be different.

It does not squeak. I've had mine for about 9 months, and because it's in the guest room, it's not used that much.
