Bal Stabalizer Jacks squeaking

Hi...I have a 2015 OpenRange Light 272RLS on which the stabalizer jacks have started to squeak whenever we walk around the trailer. I isolated the sound to the jacks...and noticed that the extension arm (not the pad that you crank down to the ground) is sliding in and out of the tube (something I hadn't expected to see) and that seems to be the cause of the noise.

So I have 2 questions.....1) Are the arms supposed to move like that? and 2) Is using a silicone lubricant the best option to end the noise.

Any advise or suggestions are appreciated as this noise is making me loopy. :)

  • I would try spraying some good silicone spray on them ans see if that cures the problem. I am not familiar with Bal stabilizing jacks, I do have the BAL Leveler for my PUP and it works great.
  • When a post is moved from the tech support forum, what forum is it moved to. I've clicked the link and what is returned is the original post and the post that says it was moved. I can't see what the new forum group is.
