I'm having a problem with my C-leg making a squeaking noise. Otto Bock can't seem to duplicate the noise therefore they cant fix it.
I'm curious if anyone else has had any problems.
The squeak has been isolated by trying a different foot (under bock's suggestion), and removing the rotator above the leg.
It occurs in swing phase just before heel strike...
If it were any other knee I would be able to disassemble and check but with the C-leg this poses a problem.
Any help?

Thanks
