Check your pulleys! A friend of mine had a simular noise and it was a pully about to fail. To see what happens when a failure occurs read this.
Thanks ParaPant, those photos made me sleep well
. The pully system on the DirectLift that I have is metal and all is pretty tight how they have it set up. I looked at it anyway and all looks ok. Also, on each post the units that raise and lower within each post are very tight too, so I don't see how this could pop out. When I take the cars out again I may run the lift up and down without the car on it and see if it may level/even things out some, if that may be the problem. I don't see how else you can line it all up to ensure it is square, since 1/2 inch off or so would be hard to detect. I have the posts marked on the floor and there doesn't seem to be any change from that mark I had. Usually I get a "hum" when I raise the lift, but this was a pretty big "groan" when raising it this time. I may try calling DirectLift in the week or the place I ordered it from in Temecula to see what they say.
