Squeaky Flexsteel Captains Chairs

[KevinVT]

Hey folks,

Our 2 living room area captains chairs are squeaky when I adjust them side to side. I have a 2003 24RB. I tried a WD-40 lubrication but that didn't help much. Any better recommendation? Looks like these might rotating on some ball bearings on a disk or something like that? Should I be using grease or some other lubrication spay. What has worked for others?

Thank you!

Hey folks,

I reached out to Flexsteel and they were quick with an answer. Sounds like my bearing ring might be going - making side to side movements squeaky. This can be replaced and sounds pretty easy. Here is the link Flexsteel provided... but I found other sites that sell it. All are around $15. The product code number is part #2350-TPKT, and you can order at www.braddandhall.com.

Hope this helps someone.

Thank for that information Kevin. Several years ago when we purchased our used 2003 rb the previous owners told us that their Flexsteel Captains chairs did not slide front to back. I was pretty sure they did because they were identical to other chairs we had in our previous Born Free.
Sure enough the previous owners never used the slide mechanism since they had purchased the coach new in 2003. A bit of lubrication and some muscle and they were working great again.

We make Cheese for a living in PA and have visited Shelburne Farm in Vermont, excellent cheddar and a beautiful area!
