Mine are really bad at least they have gotten that way for the last two months or so. They drive me crazy honestly.
I've sprayed every damn inch of em with white lithium grease too and still makes a ton of noise.

yeah iv tried everything too including white lithuim grease but the squeak still comes back. I think RedHOt is right. Im probably going to have to get them rebuilt. Replacing the bushings should do the trick.
