Tow Bar Age, how old is too old ?

[Commerce]

I have a 2005 Roadmaster All-Terrain non binding tow bar and have LOVED it and its ease of use. Recently one of the arms is stiff and harder to extend etc but maybe I should grease it somehow. My question is should I replace the tow bar after 10 years and about 30,000 tow miles on it or should I just try to use pb blaster or some other liquid wrench to ease it back up or should I buy a new tow bar from Roadmaster to fit with the tow brackets already on the car.

Maybe I am overthinking this but maybe there can be some good input about this.

I would not worry about reliability of 100 years old anvil, if you follow my mind.

If it appears not to operate correctly and lube doesn't help I would contact Roadmaster.

My roadmaster bar is from 2004 38,000 towing miles on it still works fine use silicone spray you'll see a little small holes underneath the bar you could use that hole to spray in the silicone contact roadmaster they will send you a rebuild kit sometimes for free do not use grease on it the silicone spray Will not attract dirt like Grease will
