Well its a parallel tracking arm that moves along some horizontal rods

not, but the current grease has obviously gone stiffand gungy, and has been
shoved to the ends of travel making it stick or wedge in those positions.

**It would seem that the appropriate course of action would be to clean
the old grease out and replace it with a modern, non-hardening type. I
use a German made product called: 'Langzeit-fett' The part number
appears to be 5144. I've been using it for many years and it appears to
be very long lasting and very stable. I have no idea where you can
purchase it. I purchase it from my local (Australian) supplier.
