So I was lowering my lift this afternoon and had a scary thing happen. I look up as its comming down (almost fully lowered at this point) and notice that the right front post ( I am standing at the motor which would be the right rear post) is starting to tilt to the right!! I immeditly stop lowering and raise the lift back up till the post was upright again. I lower it again and everything is fine. I'm not exactly sure what happened. I raised and lowered the lift probably ten more times and DID NOT produce the same result. Thank god. The only thing I did different was reposition my car after the post tilted (I moved it back thinking maybe it was too far foward on the lift) to see if that was the issue.
Anybody with a lift ever have this issue? Any ideas would be helpful. The lift is a Backyard Buddy. Standard 7000 lb. four post lift. I already called their customer service number but this happened just befor 5 p.m. on a friday so I didn't expect anyone to answer.
