Let's see, squeaky chair (note spelling), woodworking newsgroup.
Sure, it makes sense to ask here first.
Wrap the squeaky part with duck tape, then get a grease gun, and
pump the taped up part full of grease. If that won't fix it, the only
thing I can recommend is, try offering it some cheese.

WD-40 is what is making it last for a day or so.. the WD-40 is not a
lubricant, it disolves the grease thats already there and is letting the
old grease do its job... try taking off all the old grease and then use
some white grease to reapply to where the original grease was....if you
cannot get it back together then throw it out....
thats what i do when things like that happen.. try to fix it and then
out it goes if it does not work...
Actually I did get a new replacement base from the company for free,
and I can keep getting new ones, but they all tend to sqeak after
awhile. That's four of them total! Might be just a bad model, but I
do tend to rock a lot! :)

Like I said I typed sqeaky chair and found this forum. Oh well
spelling looked ok to me at the time, no spell checking in posting
box. Unless there is a way to add that.

Ok will try grease or white grease, with tape to trap it in.

Then how will you be able to tell if it's rocking properly, if it
doesn't squeak? I always found a small squeak in a chair relaxing and
inspiring, when I rocked. But, maybe you're management, and don't need
inspiring.
