Reply to "Car Lift Noise"

No problem, better safe than sorry. Although as mentioned above I knew the article did not apply to your make, but in all of the cable/pulley 4 post lifts it seems that the pulleys are the weak link. In my friends case, he uses it not for storage but to do R&R on his 7 cars, as well as friends. Since the aircraft grade steel cable network places lateral loads on the aluminum pulleys, this cause the ineer shoulder on two of the pulleys to wear to the point that the groaning noise was the cable trying to "climb off" the pulleys, once noticed they were replaced immediately. So to all of you with these types of lifts, please keep an eye on those pulleys.
