Just imagine how much more help we could be if we had even the
slightest inkling as to what type of chair you are talking about.

"a chair for my outdoor table on the deck" doesn't give us a lot to
work with.


My guess is that it is a reclining chair, which is now reclining too
far, to the point that it is wanting to tip backwards. In such a
scenario, one would first have to ascertain the specific reclining
mechanism (like a spring lever), then find out why it's behavior is
different now than it was before (ie, what broke).
