The sound finally went away with an heavier application from the grease gun into the zirks yesterday. I used a heavy duty tractor bearing grease
I have been told that the bushing should have silicone grease on their outer surface and under the flange, which makes sense now. So I'll pull the arms, remove the bushings and try the silicone grease. The creak started to come back today, albeit less noisy. Any tip on do's / dont's on greasing bushings will be appreciated |
