U-Trak Noise
Visitor Q:
<--- Saving U-Traks One Lub at a Time. :P
Visitor Q:
So yeah, I lubed up the bearings and where the bearings slide on the shaft... It still makes noise when rolling to the right side. I noticed when I had it apart that there was wear on the center of the shafts from where the track ball hits it, all 3 rods. I guess there is really no way to fix this because if I wax the shafts the track ball may slip.
Ideas are welcome.

If you do decide to "wax the shaft," make sure no one catches you. ;D

Wear? on a relatively new trackball in stainless steel?
I doubt it, I think you have some gunk built up there you need to get it off and the Track ball we be like new!

Next time I pull it apart I will snap some pix if it don't wipe off. I mean I can't even see how it could be that dirty so you have a valet point. I'll pull it one more time this week, maybe tonight.
