I just got the step and a hitch installed. The step wobbles a bit.Any suggestions on how to make it not move, or should I contact the step seller?

Wow, I have had mine for over a year and used it with 3 different hitches. I haven't had any problem mine has been very sturdy. Maybe try wrapping some electrical tape around it once or twice would stabilize yours. Once you start to use it you will love it.

I have only had my stool for a few short months but on occasion I have noticed from moving it around the screw in rubber "stablizers" come loose and I need to screw them back in to stop the wobbles. If it is the actual stool, verses the stablizers try putting a peice of a toothpick inside the joint, this will require taking it apart and putting it back together. Wobbling is not good for a stool espeically if you have an elderly person using it in the shower. Check the warranty.

Many hitch receivers have a threaded bolt hole on the side. If you have one of these, you could thread a bolt in until the step is snug.

Go to Ace (or some other hardware store) and get a solid bolt (that is only threaded on the end) that is the same diameter as the pin hole-- so you have to tap in to the hole with a hammer. Put on a nut, tighten it down, no more play thus no more clunking. Same for the receiver hitch hole too. A little extra effort to install & remove but no more clunking and more secure than just a cotter pin & sloppy pin.

Mine swayed the first time i used it because i didn't use the tool to tighten the bolt into the hitch. Do that and it wont sway.

I got mine in mid-September 2014 and it seems like the lift mechanism is failing. The stool does not stay lifted to the full height, wobbles, and makes a sproingy/springy sound. I just contacted Vandue (the vendor) about repairing or replacing it. I may look into spending more in the hopes of getting something better. I will try to remember to update this based on the feedback I receive from Vandue. I will check to see if this is under any kind of warranty as well.

Mike,I had the EXACT same problem for a day or so. Then, for some unexplained reason, the stars aligned, and it seated correctly (while I was making a video to email to Lucid to demonstrate problem, no less). Try turning the square bolts 90 degrees, 1 at a time, and check seating after you turn each one. For me, it was the REAR bolt that was giving me problems. Try mounting it on different rail spaces, too. Let Lucid know, ASAP, tho, so its documented. They told me (the "founder"), that they never heard of this problem. LOL. Mine sits tight now...go figure. Good luck.

I bought this Rack and I am VERY DISSAPONTED! The hitch Lock will not work. everytime I turn key, it will only turn so far and it just springs back open. I think the lock is broke! It is ALWAYS OPEN. THen after 20 minutes of messing with it one of the Keys BROKE! Has anyone else had this proble with the lock being open instead of closed when off?

The feet move slightly. Try adjusting those and see if you get better results. I've had mine standing on the trunk of my car, a fence post, table top, etc. with no problems.

I can't get the fitting foot ring to slide down the post. I tried WD 40 and it still won't go past a few inches. In the illustration it is about halfway between the seat bottom and the base. What should I do?

The collar on the bolt should go through the hole in the receiver. The collar serves to push the rack against the side of the receiver. Thus eliminating the wobble. Mine has no wobble what so ever.

I just got this stepper and I do wish it were higher. Did you ever find more risers? I tried putting all 4 on one side and then put books under the other side, which worked well enough but kind of lame.

Sometimes you'll need to install a shim between the base of the legs and the wood to eliminate wobble. Once, you've got them all setup though, there is no wobble. The rubber feet come off easily. There is also a shorter version available though if you want something shorter.

I had a similar issue, and I wouldn't call it terrible, but there was definitely a wobble perpendicular to the track/rail. Tightening the bearing to the point that sliding movement is slower solved the issue though. Have you checked the bearings themselves? Is there a rust spot forming that might be making this movement?

Sorry you are having that problem ! Ours moves just fine with no hitches: both forward to show downward toward the operator. Turning it up toward the a ceiling is no problem either! Must be something worng...

It is all that holds the rack to the hitch. You should tighten the bolt all the way, also make sure the piece that goes into the hitch is tight as well. I beleive this is tightened with the supplied hex wrench. I've had mine for three years traveling all over with no wobbles.

Yes, I just got my bike and the seat wobbles a lot. I crammed some cardbd in where it appeared to be wobbling, but it only improved a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions???
