Hello,
We purchased a Precor 5.17 elliptical from a family member. Although it is about nine years old, it was barely used.
My family really likes the machine. I like the fact that it is very quiet and smooth.
Just recently, it has started making a slight “clanking” noise when you push your left foot down on the power stroke (the right side is fine). It orginates in the back of the machine.
I have taken a look, but cannot figure out where the noise comes from. I am not sure if the clank originates in the pivot block assembly, or on the other end of the crank arm assembly, near the pillow block. All parts seem undamaged and tight. There is no wobble or slop in the linkage.
Does anyone have any experience with this machine that could point me in the right direction?
Thanks
