roseA 1 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cagey 770 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 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 474 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roseA 1 Posted January 5 Author Report Share Posted January 5 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
