nickr Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I have a really loud irritating squeak (well at least for the neighbours in the dead of night!) from the piston on my wheel carrier. It didnt do it when new (as far as i can remember) and has had very little use. I'm confident that I did a good job of fitting it. I believe this is probably the most popular wheel carrier out there - so am assuming others may have the same problem. Question is how did you solve it? I've tried lithium grease so far. If its a common problem perhaps Mantec ought to put something on their FAQ page! Thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickr Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Doh!! Before anyone else replies - I've discovered what it is. Disconnected the piston from the arm. Its the arm mountings squeaking not the piston! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 easy to cure then, a good dose of lube. could the pivots be drilled & threaded for grease nipples? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
