Just assembled my squat rack and noticed the right upright (as you face the rack) is tilted to the outside a bit while the other side looks just fine. Anyone else have an issue with one side not as straight as the other? All the bolts are secured just...

I have the same issue, but it seems solid enough and strong enough. When we bench with 200+ pounds on the bar, and re-rack it, this little bit of give does tend to move the rack a bit, even with an additional 200 pounds on the weight holding pegs, so be aware of that. I definitely would not rack more than 300 pounds on this however - if you need to go beyond that weight, you should look into a whole cage because you are too advanced for this particular rack.

I dont believe so, not through amazon anyways. If you're having issues with the stability or duability of your rack, dont worry i suffered the same issues. It turns out i didnt assemble it as tight as possible. Turning it on its side and pushing it in will allow it to stay better:) hope i helped

I think you may have assembled it wrong by using some of the wrong hardware. When I assembled and tightened to a firm snug level, they adjust perfectly. I would re-evaluate the pieces you have used

I believe that whole assembly is supposed to have 6 degrees (or something like that) of tilt up or down. I think that is what you are referring to. If not I can check again as to what you may be seeing.

I don't have any issues with threading the spot bar through. I have had a lot of success with this rack. My only complaint I guess would be that if you are doing pullups or anything heavy where you might be banging the rack around, have some weights on the back weight rack otherwise the rack itself might move a little. But I am also using 400+. Its a great unit

I had the exact same issue. I put them together, with some struggle because of quality control, and one is wobbly as you described. The bolts are completely tight yet they still shake and rattle. In my opinion it is due to poor QC and design. This will be my one and only purchase from Gorilla Fitness.

Wow, I did not have that happen to me. Mine went together beautifully and looks great. I would suggest Lowes or Home Depot or a similar place. I suggest bringing the frame piece in need of the bolts to ensure a proper fit.

I do not use the brackets, I just twisted it into place. I've been using it daily for months. When you pull up or hang on the bar from one side, it will slightly tighten the bar each time you use it. When you hang on the bar from the other side, it will slightly loosen each time you use it. So always use the side that will tighten it slightly. Otherwise, it could loosen over time with or without the brackets.

Our table seems to be well balanced. We haven't noticed anything odd. I can remember my husband saying that the bottom stands that the legs are on ..are twisted in. I guess I would measure the height of the legs to make sure they are all at the same height. Maybe one needs to be twisted further? Just a thought.

I found this to be true. The fix is to use a hex wrench to over tightening the quick release which makes it useless but the rack won't sway.

I believe it is because the outer rails are arched rather than straight. I checked photos on google, other models are straight on all sides. Hope this helps!

It's normal. The rails don't always match perfectly. It happens on my machine all the time. You get used to itI should say that mine is a slight but noticeable bump though nothing that would interrupt my workouts. If yours is significant, check to make sure everything is locked down and if not, contact Bayou Fitness.

There is some lean from side to side but I have mine behind a 4 wheeler. I eliminated any lean at all by using a ratchet strap on each side of the receiver attaching it to rack on both sides.

Mine is a little different..I have a holding bar and mine goes side to side .+

I have an angled seat post and it sets level on my bike. If your post is vertical the rack would be at a slightly upwards angle.

Dallin, No issues with height whatsoever. I'm 5'11 and I take it to the 6th hole for the adjustment. It has plenty more extension. I use it for squats once a week and it hasn't presented a problem yet, even with 400 plus pounds. Good luck bro, it's a great rack to own.

The rack stil wobbles. I use the screw in hitch pin as well as the lottery pin and it moves. There is play between the hitch and the receiver so it slides in. No way around it. The screw doesn't alleviate the rocking. That being said I've had no issues with the rocking. Yet. Some day I suspect the metal could break from wear and fatigue.
