Toilet rocks when you sit on it?

[ephedralover]

Ok Joe Dirt... :)

[Tim Fischer]

It is totally relavant. The OP said his toilet was leaking at the base. That's a sign of a bad wax ring.

Wouldn't that prevent me from knowing if it begins to leak again?

[Tim Fischer]

See my earlier post. Leave a gap at the back of the toilet, where water can seep out and leaks can be dectected. Placing it at the back will make it not visible.

"analogous", A N A L

Fixing a rocking toilet, in my case involved two wax rings stacked and shims to get it to stop rocking and get it to seal correctly.. That is what I posted. Every rocking toilet will/may not be repaired the same.

The real solution is to stop doing what makes the toilet rock before you go blind.

I caulk them any time I do a repair..never a problem. Tim's gap idea in the back is an excellent nugget.

It was the shims, not the wax rings. I don't expect you to know that, but I'm telling others listening that you're not really sure what you're talking about.

[jeffc]

That may be. The other posted implied wax rings are a cure for a rocking toilet. I was clearing that up.

[Oren]

And you are full of shit. You don't tell anybody here what to do.

[Oren]

You are full of shit, wax rings are not the cure and who said that? Frankly, I would not let you clean up my crapper. Do you clean?

[jeffc]

Apparently, you're a complete moron and it's time for you to go back in your corner with your pointy hat. My point was, was rings are not the cure.

QED

[Oren]

I like you better as Joe Dirt with the "bring the chicks over" routine. I haven't seen you contribute to what the OP asked or even offer a solution. First the wax ring is not relevant and you were called on it since the OP had a leak. Now it is relevant, but not a cure.

I will state this as I have before: a double wax ring and wedges fixed my rocking toilet... not a cure for everyone.

-- Oren

"Well, it doesn't happen all the time, but when it happens, it happens constantly."

[jeffc]

I know you haven't. That's because you're not very smart.

And I will contribute this bit of information to the OP once again. Your double wax ring did not fix your rocking toilet. Only your wedges did.

[Oren]

With a double wax ring I got the very important seal I needed, so I could place the wedges and tighten things up...come on, you are smart.
