I to have the ole squeaks in the drivers corner. I read the posts and tried something along those lines with a twist..I used an awl to poke the hole in the joint boot then filled my chainsaw oiler,(you know? That little plunger tool for oiling the bar tip wheel...) Filled it with a good lube, inserted it into the hole, pumped till it puffed oh so slightly, turned the wheels several times back n forth and taa daa. Believe it or not it worked. I am squeak free and loving it. Oh happy day...
