I have a very old tub of damping grease.
The stuff I inked to may be good mabe not. I cant know. It comes in about 5 different "damping" abilities.

To use it you would buy 2 new caster bearings. Ebay etc. Or remove the old ones. Remove a seal. They just pull out easily. Wash ALL the old existing grease out with paintbrush and white spirit, paraffin, etc.

Push lots of the new damping grease into the bearings. And replace the rubber seals.

Reinstall.

Never used it for thais job, but have used it on various things in the past.

Hi,
The store guy fixed it by adding a washer and tighten it.
