Nothing at all looks factory lubricated.

Check for all smooth operation when not under load, first, before any weight is lifted.
(i.e. no expensive car frame is above it)
Yeah, even with no load, the locking cam binds up. And you're right, the pivot on the cam is a hollow rivet.

As much as I love our host, their price wasn't remotely competitive with Costco. And the Costco return policy makes in a no-brainer.
