there should be adjustable wear pads on each section of the boom
lubricating the boom channels might be what's needed or the wear pads are worn out and need replacement.

you should call your cat dealer to have this serviced

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
