Hey @AKRacingSupport , ive been loving this chair for the past year that Ive had it, but at some point today I noticed that the right armrest swivel has gone from the normal 3 angle settings to completely loose. Is there any way I can fix this without a replacement part? Also, if I have a warranty (which I think I might but not completely sure) would that cover it?

AKRacingDylan1thank you! I think I found the source of the issue but it is not something that i am capable of fixing myself. This is due to the fact that 2 pieces that are supposed to be screwed tightly together have coroded (I think) and now do not stick as tightly, causing the armrest to unscrew the locking mechanism from the armrest arm if rotated counterclockwise with enough force (not much force at all). Im not sure if this is just something that happens over time, something I have done wrong, or just unusual, but I hope this info helps the people at AKRacing. Edit - after further investigation, I have realized that those 2 parts couldwere probably meant to be one single part but coroded and is now 2 seperate pieces that make the locking mechanism all whacky and counterclockwise turns now cause it unscrew. Unfortunate but it does put me a bit at ease to know exactly what the issue is. Edit 2 - Managed to fix it enough for comfort by simply supergluing those metal pieces back together. Still a little sketchy and Im not going to test the strength of the bond.
