I have a Speed Queen model A91P the wringer head if squeeking could be the wringer rolls? Does the squeaking start when the rolls start? If so try putting some Vaseline on the rollers nylon bearings. There located at top and bottom. Look at the metal post that protrudes from the rubber rolls. To tighten the pressure to the wringer rolls look at the bottom of the wringer head take the drain board off you will see better. There is a screw one on each side of lower wringer roll. Un loosen the nut and adjust it.There is a booklet on this web site you can pay to down load only a few bucks. This will show you illustrations on how the proper way to adjust the tension on the wringer rolls. You might need new nylon wringer bearings? They can be purchased at Lehmans Hardware store in Kidron Ohio. This is the ONLY place to buy new not old parts for the Speed Queen wringer washer. Hope this helps you out. Check out the booklet I talked about you will be shown how to replace the nylon wringer roll bearing also. Not very hard to do. Take care Gary.....

Hi Lisa, if you give me your email address I will send a copy of my speed queen repair manual with the wringer section. The good thing is lehmans sells parts that WILL fit you speed queen because they Speed Queen that is did not change much over the years with the washer. Speed Queen sold the wringer business so they no longer make any wringers. A Saudia Arabian company bought the machines ect that speed queen had so they make it now. I just bought a set of wringer rolls last month from Lehmans and they are exactly what what speed queen made. Except the paper covering the rolls says Speed Queen in English and Arabic!!!! I am willing to bet you need new rolls and nylon bearings and not in need of adjustment to the wringer rolls. If the bearings are worn and rolls are worn and hard from years of use they will not wring all that well. So I hope this helps. By the way if you replace the rolls and bearings it is easy trust me but I would not suggest you tear into the wringer head ect!!! Unless your very mechanically inclined. I wish I lived close to you I would do,it for you. I love doing this. Take care Gary.............PS yes that's my wringer.

Hi there Lisa, I read your message abou going to Lehmans Hardware store never made it there even though I live in Ohio but in Parma Heights a suburb of Cleveland. Anyway I will post a photo of my spare parts for the wringer rolls they are the top and bottom wringer bearings with the white nylon bearings. Lehmans has them I bought them a few years ago. The wringer rolls I know are costly but what a difference though in how they wring!!!! Thanks Gary...........
