My la-z-boy recliner squeaks when rocking. It appears to come from the 4 big springs in the rocking mechanism. I applied some wd40 to the springs, but it didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions?

Try the spray on Teflon white grease. It comes in a spray can (from Lowes or Home depot)

Flip it over again and spray everything you can see with WD40. Unless it is coming from somewhere that you cant get to I would imaine that would fix the problem. It may need to be sprayed and then sit or recline in it and wiggle or bounce around a little and then maybe spray again. You know, like if you were to use it on a hinge you would move the door back and forth to get it worked in.

Squeaks as I breath. Annoying as hell. In and is usualoly silent but, as I exhale, it squeeks loud ! Tried WD40 on all joints and anything that moves or, swivels. A week later and oil all over the dog and on the floor it squueks louder yet. The chair is for a winter home and. Is less than a year old and is hardly used. Squeeks like an old wagon but louder. Very annoying.

The squeaking is usually caused by the leather rubbing against itself. You ned a product called Leather Vital which was developed for this purpose and also to give it a nice feel.

When you flip it over In the center near the front, sort of centered, before the footrest there is a double row bar with "teeth" and a claw-like device that engages it (It kind of reminds me of an ice scraper. It is what makes that ratcheting sound when you lean back with the footrest up and keeps it from tilting forward. This is likely where your squeaking is coming from. Use a good pasty lubricant like axel grease or a spray-on teflon grease that is meant for use with metal.

it was the back of the chair that was causing the problem, it was not locked down good and my hubby took a candle and rubbed it good putting wax on it and it works wonderful now, I was going to call service people at $80 but now don't have to. Yea, I am happy happy!

Use a little bit of WD-40 on the metal parts of the chair, but be careful to not get it on the fabric of the chair.

The ones by my house has potholes right outside the door. You gotta love having lobster, moo shoo pork, a taco and a piece of white-fish all on the same plate. The juice on the bottom of the plate tease the taste buds.

You may need to tighten a bolt in the mech. under it....If all the bolts have been tightened, try "Nutz Off" you can buy it in a spray can at any automotive store, or hardware store. It's a lubricant, I like it better than WD-40.

I'd call Lazy boy and ask them... If WD40 didn't work, they will have a solution.
