roseA Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I have a 2019 Millie and my Auto Advance is getting really squeaky when I use it. Does it or the rail need to be lubricated? Also, I just noticed that two of my ball joints for the rail shafts are crooked, the pick up roller and the quilt top roller on the right side. Is this going to cause a problem? All of the other ball joints are straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I would email the above picture to APQS, and then call them in the morning. The upper joint (I think it is actually a bearing) looks like it is not fully seated together. APQS can give you the best method to fix. If you have to quilt tonight, I do not believe it would cause any issues to used sparingly. Tell us what APQS tells you. Best of luck with your repair.

jimerickson Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Just straighten the eye holding the bearing so it's at a right angle to the shaft, put a drop of oil on it, and you should be ready to go. Jim roseA and dbams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roseA Posted January 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Thank you! I got the joints back in alignment easily by loosening the hex nut just underneath and then retightening. A drop of oil fixed the awful squeak! APQS said to use WD-40. dbams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
