That right there folks is why you don't disable the safety locks. I recall techs doing that in the shop to save them the hassle on every car. Bad idea!

I've been looking for one of those bolts, my regular supplier doesn't have that style.
Seriously, good catch. That would have been ugly if it failed while lowering the car and you had the mechanical safeties disengaged.
Had to rebuild a friend's 2 post lift a couple years ago. A couple of the delrin slider blocks inside the post slipped and bound it up, also stretched the synchronizing cable running between each side.

My 4 post is squeaking when I lower it now... I think it'll be alright but will be sure to keep listening closer...
Could be the Ram or the Hose ( Swelling over time )
When I had the Ram replaced, I replaced the Hose as well. When they put the Fluid in, they also put some type of Snake Oil in with it. I squeaked at first, but now is super quiet
