Default When you hear funny noises....
don't ignore them. My 4 post lift had started to make a funny popping sound occasionally when being lowered. I decided to check it today and found this...

As close to breaking as you can get without actually breaking. This is one of the main two pulleys off the ram itself.

When I started looking for replacement parts I noticed the assembly date on the serial number tag... 04/2001. So I've had this lift for 20 years, and I use it a LOT and my friends use it a LOT lol. Been a great unit, did replace the ram a year or two ago for a slight leak that couldn't be fixed locally, other than that it's been flawless. I checked all the pulleys then and either missed this one or it failed after.

Whew that's crazy. When I had a 2 post lift installed a couple years ago a friend who owns a repair shop said to check the anchor nuts often. I have on 2 occasions found more then 1 nut loose enough to twist with my fingers. Huge pucker factor. Nice catch!

WOW!

I just had my 4 Post serviced for the 1st time in 15 years a couple of months ago. Had to replace the Ram, Hoses but nothing was broken.

You got lucky on that one

My 4 post is squeaking when I lower it now... I think it'll be alright but will be sure to keep listening closer...
