Thanks a bunch for the video, this helped a ton Pretty awkward staying up late and everyone is sleeping, and there is just squeaking constantly on my chair

thank you now i can play all night without waking up my mom because of the sounds of the chair

Thanks! My stepsister has some lubricant in her room somewhere, maybe that will do!

I tightened the bolts attaching the chair to the seat and it WORKED! No more squeaks. Thank you so much.

This is what is great about youtube and the internet in general. I just googled this as a question and there was a simple, practical video produced to demonstrate possible suspects of what was causing the squeaking. Thanks for doing this!

THANK YOU!!!!! This is really annoying, especially when it's 2am, the sound it makes is like the sound of someone being murdered!

Hey from across the pond here in the UK. Thanks for taking the time to record, edit and upload this video. I had a very similar problem with my otherwise really comfortable office chair and I followed the same steps you'd shown and it has cured the issue. In my case it was a few loose bolts on the arm rests to the base and the base to the back support needing lubricating as the noise was from a backward/forward movement rather than up/down as with your chair. Kudos to you!

YOU SAVED MY SANITY, I LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! the squeaking is still there but it's as you said, its 90% gone and the god damn reason for the extreme squeaking was probably the fact that 1/4 screws connecting the cilinder to the chair was missing, i have no ideea how that happened, i assmbled the chair with my own hands and i am in shock that this happened, anyway, thanks again, i hope you'll read this because you really really really helped a thon, thank you so very very much!!!!!!!!

Really appreciate this! First video that came up when I searched for a solution, and it worked

An FYI for the uploader: The first place you sprayed doesn't make any difference. You're literally just spraying WD all over the outside of the cylinder housing, behind the plastic cover. That doesn't do anything. The second place you sprayed is right in the friction-fit of the wheel base and the cylinder housing - that's most likely your culprit. Over time the cylinder can get slightly misaligned in the friction fit. To really solve this you'd need to hammer it out of the wheel base, clear any rust and dirt and then lubricate with a little bit of heavy duty grease in the socket of the wheel base before finally friction-fitting the cylinder once again.

Perfect, thanks! After...I don't know, 1-2 years, I finally got to this. LOL. The squeaking was getting really bad, - no matter how tight the screws were. Any movement in my chair, especially reclining back would be loud. I don't have the exact same chair, but lubricating (WD-40 also) that cylinder sure helped with the squeak - as well as adjusting the seat up and down. Also the back part does disassemble - this is attached to the seat portion with 4 screws and this bent metal "L." where you screw this into the seat. Lubing those screw holes, also the metal "L" part (which is like rubbing metal on metal) totally did the trick. But yet, I will probably have to do this every 3-6 months. Not a big deal, thrilled the annoyance is gone. Thanks for this again.

bro this shit needs more views.!! fixed my chair without the wd40 ... ive had this 300$ chair only two weeks so i was like every video is saying for old chairs.. mines is new and expensive... but yeah it literally was the same squeek u got from the first time u sat down on the video.. happened to be all 4 screws under the chair got loose in only a few weeks!.. wouldve never thought it was those screws cause i forsure tightened them as hard as possilbe when i assembled it.. its humbling but now i know to check the screws everytime i hear a noise!! no matter if new or not!! thanks helped me abunch

Thanks, man! I busted out my WD-40, but I didn't even think to tighten the bolts on the chair again since I just built it a couple of weeks ago. The combination of the two helped get rid of the squeaking for the most part.

I never coment on videos , however this honestly worked so well. I paid over 200 for my chair for it to start speaking but now it doesnt make a sound !!

Thx so much for taking the time. I agree on W-D- I use it on everything- squeaky door hinges, removing sticky tags from items, removing paint, so many uses. My chair still squeaks but I've identified where it's doing it and it has more to do with where the screws connect (which I sprayed) and my chair looks better than it functions! Taizun's comment below is on point as well.

I hope this helps someone: I tightened all bolts, and lubricated the piston cylinder (as per part 2 of the video), no luck. But I finally found the source of the squeaking for my chair: The base plate is bolted to the bottom of the chair one one side. The other sideis connected to the piston assembly and held together with a horizontal bolt/rod. Lubricate that bolt, and voila. It's actually surprising that this single bolt carries the entire weight of your body when you're seated. There's also an adjustable stiffness wheel, with a rod that extends out from it. Lubricate the tip of that rod as well.

Wow, I just fixed my chair. Holy...... I had to return my chair tomorrow and I did not want it because I only have a noise problem. Thank you!

Like other comments have mentioned, make sure all the screws are tightened. A few of mine were loose including one that basically wasn't screwed in at all. Tightening then made 90% of the squeaking go away

A beautiful and simple video. Thank you!

Just watched both videos about the creaky chair. Absolutely awesome fix!! Our new computer chair has developed this fault, we even sent off for a new part, but the creak came back worse. It’s knowing exactly where to squirt the oil which totally did the trick, as a result I subbed to your channel. Top man. Many thanks - Neil (UK). 🙏

Man you're the best. I tried so many things but this one was the solution. Thanks a lot.

Thank you SO MUCH!! I saw videos saying that I have to apply grease in the gas lift but never thought it could be the bolts!

Thank you soooo much for this video. Turns out mine was due to bolts being loose. I would never have guessed that so thank you!

Thanks man did everything you said and now it works great

Thank you for your video. My squeaking chair has been driving me nuts for months. It turns out your first suggestion, to just tighten the screws, worked, because the loose screws were the cause! I didn't even have to lubricate it! (with canola oil, the only spray I have!)Thank you!!

great video. I had a squeaky office chair so I watched your video. Tighten a few bolts and the squeaking went away. Thank you so much!

Did the job. Thanks Ergo; You da Man!

Very good easy to follow video. Who knew it would be as simple as tightening some screws

Works perfect no more squeak noise , Thanks :')

im glad you posted this :)

Thanks so much! My problem was the part where the piston connected into the metal tilt mechanism. It was driving my crazy every time I leaned forward in the chair. Now it’s super quiet! Thank you!

Thanks so much man!! I've tightened the screws and it's no more squeaking. You saved me so much nerves!!

Thank you.....Just tighting the bolts worked! Very good video!

Work like a charm! Thanks

DUDE THIS THING ACTUALLY WORKS!!!, i highly recommended this it fixed like 90% of the sqeakyness just like he said

Yo George, you are the man - my chair sounds much less annoying now! Simple fix and appreciate your instruction - makes sense lol

fasten the bolts solved it for me, thank you!

Wow thank you so much. I also appreciate the fact that you suggest items that most people have on hand. I don't have any special lubricants buti do have wd-40 so that worked in a pinch! So glad the chairs quieter

Easy and fast!!! My chair is waaaaay quieter now. Thanks!!!!

Great Video, very concise and clear, and well filmed with good lighting. Thanks sir! Question...should you lift up the plastic pieces (cylinder guards) while chair is upside down to oil, or does it matter? Thank you again.

Thank you so much!! Your video was so helpful!!!

You safed my day! 👍

Tightening the screws really solved the problem for me. Creaking was pretty much gone after doing it thanks!

Thank you so much!

Just tried this works thank you 😊

thank you so much

Thanks, this sorted it out nicely. Tip: If, like me, you manage to get WD40 rebound spray all over the back of your chair, isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) is excellent for scrubbing it off.

Genius, thanks

thx its great to come across an issue and solve it straight away u earned a sub from me :)

YOU THE MANNN

I was going right for the WD-40, but watched this video and I did just need a corner bolt tightened! Don't do the WD-40 before you tighten up the bolts. The stuff, doesn't smell that good (to everyone) and it does tend to get a little messy for indoor applications. Thanks! You saved me some good time and effort.

Such a simple yet effective thing I didnt try. Thank you!

Thank you so much. It worked!

THANKS A LOT SIR

This is awesome!! I have a chair making much more squeaky sound than yours. Right now it is no sound at all after using DW40. I have DW40 just didn't know it can do the magic for this.
