I bought one new from etrailer I believe. The arms were hard to extend but did not screech. When I had time I followed their maintenance routine, take the zip ties off, push the tubes down and clean with silicone then light coating of multi purpose grease (Think I have it but check yourself to be sure).
Afterwards, the legs extended much easier. Hope this helps.
Etrailer.com has excellent tech help. If you haven’t already maybe a call or search their help section may give you more info.
Another tip I found was to clean the moving parts with dawn and water, after 1400 miles I had so much road gunk it made it almost impossible to tilt the towbar into stowed position. (The legs were fine as I had lubed them prior). Strangely, the triple lugs loosened up on each leg and I called Blue Ox who said to slightly tighten them.
