Just bought a used older nordic track skier. The top part is wobbly no matter how much I tighen the nut. What is a solution to prevent that?

I purchased a track skier that never was stable. Sold it and bought one from NordicFitnessTrack. No problems - it is excellent. Call (Nordic) Danny 1-503-580-2000. Or look at Nordic Fitness Track. Good exercising!

I would suggest you take a picture of the top assy and compare it to pictures on the web or send it to nordic trac ,, My guess is your missing some parts ,, good luck

Make sure the table mount (threaded end) is first pressed securely over the pivot ball then tighten the nut. Had same issue when I tried to use this if the threaded end was not pressed over the ball it will pull the nut off.

I would return it. My first time I cracked several pounds of pecans with no problems, very strong nutcracker in my opinion, maybe yours was defective...

Go to a hardware store and get two new screws/bolts. Make sure you get two nuts to lock them down. I have always made sure the nuts are tight and have had no problems.

I have heard of this problem before from other buyers. I have not had this problem. I would call Schwinn and ask them.

im not sure Neil, I didn't have this issue, did you strip the bolt that the nut attaches to? you may just have to slowly stop turning the nut when you feel the tension. I apologize for not a better answer.

Make sure that all of the brushes between the wheels of the tender are making solid contact with the track. If any of them have an uneven contact surface, you can remove them with small pliers, then lightly file down the surface so it's flat again, and reinsert it into place. Then make sure the track is clean. If you're absolutely sure there are no apparent connection problems, then I would proceed with consulting a hobby shop or someone who is good with electronics, as Juan suggests. Unfortunately, New Bright has abandoned this product and its owners, so we're entirely on our own.

It's likely that Your upper track is not level to the bottom track. I would re-hang the upper track leaving enough room so that there's a bit of play - you have to be careful though - if it's too spread it'll bind as well.

The most common problem seems to be gasket stretch. Parts are available from Nordic Ware at (877) 466-7342. Gaskets are very reasonable and the lady that helped was just delightful. Ask for Georgia! :)

I don't know what exactly it could be but, the OEM nut came off without having to work very hard so when I reinstalled the new sensor I just estimated how hard it was to get off. Basically just torqued it down to finger tight and then two and half turns which made it pretty darn snug. Haven't had any issues yet! Sorry I can't help more.

I've never had that issue either, and I do dips on it fairly often. I will say when doing dips, making sure it's on a hard surface is important to help reduce wobble.

As previous answer from someone dated 2/28/15, contact Nordic Track company directly.

I also have the same issue. Are you able to fix the issue? If its fixed did you use a different nut?

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

Do you mean the nylon nut at the bottom where the two bars meet (handle bar and foot bar)? During assembly, this confused me a bit, too. The nut should be on the inside of the bars, with the smaller end facing the machine. I held this nut in place with the included wrench and used a socket wrench to tighten the outside bolt into it. The directions for this entire thing could be a bit more clear (and this is coming from a pro Ikea assembler!)

if it's wobbling something is loose. I would try to Go back over all the bolts and connections and double check to make sure everything is tight, especially the ground bolts.

Sorry to hear about your problem. My suggestion is to contact Schwinn manufacturer. Probably an easy fix.
