Squat rack problem

[Roadrunner]

I recently bought a used squat rack and its actually pretty good. Its made by tuff stuff and seems pretty sturdy. I am having an issue with it though.

The saftey bar on the left of the cage seems to get stuck. I pull the pins out of the holes no problem but sometimes the thing just jams there. Anyone else have this issue or any ideas on how to solve it?

Thanks.

Make the hole a bit larger, perhaps ?

All kidding aside:
First check if the safety bar is perfectly straight. I would assume (especially since it is used) it already got quite a beating from bars being dropped.
Once you detect a bend, see if inserting/extracting it in a certain way (e.g. always the same spot on top) facilitates things. Then make a mark so you know for the future.

Okay,

This is going to sound really obscene and i can't believe I'm using this in a sentence but: do I just grease the poll here?

I'm being serious btw...
