Noticed today that I'm getting a funny clicking and squeaking noise from m near side wheel area. Could it be the DS UJ or bearing or both? The sound does simmer down after a while.

Answers on a post card.....

What's your recommendations on a replacement one? Worth upgrading or stick with a standard one?

grease it first

It will be stuffed (should have greased it in the past) get it refurbished professionally.

I've always greased them before and after events, who would be a good refurb company to use?

I've used reco-prop in Luton. Top job but not cheap if you ask for quick turnaround

grease costs nearly nothing and worth try first you might be lucky

Inspected the shaft today and there is play in the lower UJ and some slight movement in the slide post too. Will be taking it off on Sunday, but the four bolts at the TC end look like fun to remove

Steve you little sinner - dropping the skid can also be a problem if you have a sized bolt.

I have a nasty feeling that a few of the rivnuts are loose, and I don't have a half inch or 12mm tool to replace them

Will try my new 72" extension bar and an Umpa Lumpa
