Question:

I currently have a Falcon All Terrain tow bar I use to tow my 2014 Cadillac SRX. I have extreme difficulty getting the tow bars to move in and out. I have tried everything to clean/lube them but they seem to get worse. Do I need to get a replacement system for that? thanks

I'm not sure what process you used to clean and lubricate your # RM-522, but I would soak the arms with degreaser and then move the arms in and out while rinsing them off with water. You can also use the Roadmaster Tow Bar Cleaner # RM-9932. After they are rinsed, dry the arms thoroughly and lubricate them with a dry silicone spray like the # RM-747.

Assuming this was done, you need the Repair Kit for Roadmaster Falcon and Blackhawk All Terrain Tow Bars # RM910003-85. This should fix the issue you're having and allow it to work as intended. However, if you have bent arms then you would need the # 910021-65 to replace them instead. Moving forward, I also recommend using a cover # RM-055-3 when you store your tow bar after maintenance.
