I have a pack seat that's creaking super loudly and driving me insane. Tried lubricating the areas below in red - tightened it all up - still terrible. It's like the wood base itself is creaking. Maybe something to do with living in a desert and it being old wood, I dunno.

Any tips before I give up and go all Texas Chainsaw Massacre on this thing?

Loosen off the clamps and put a piece of vinyl or leather in between the clamps and legs. That should stop all noise.

Yeah hollow-Metal(or light aluminum) will always eventually squeak as it moves with OTHER metal or with other material; that's also another reason I carry a small bottle of 3&1 oil in my chair...ah...ha...
