Greasing

[jonlafon1]

found a squeek on mine up front...it was the steering post blocks..lubed and loosened one slightly too tight block...quiet and smooth as can be now

The two plastic pieces that fit together around the steering rod/post?? I could see that .

yep...one was over tightened and squeezing the snot out of the post...draggy and squeaking here and there......nyloc nuts with plenty of thread showing anyways.....so greased and loosened and butter smooth and quiet now

I'm hearing the same squeak, drives me nuts, my viper had the same and of course no grease fittings in the front end.

I hear a squeak too. Seems more noticeable when rear of sled is springing up I think. Going through some washboards gets annoying.

Sounds like the noise is coming from your rear end. Cooking with Olive Oil can remedy that...

Damn squeak got really bad today. Trails were pretty chopped up by the end of the day. I greased the 4 zerks myself and they were just done again by dealer. So, I am positive it's in the front. Still waiting for pics SJ of the area you mentioned. Otherwise, I am gonna silicone spray the entire front end (besides that will help prevent ice build up in intake. Lol)

Lower ball joints like to squeak on this chassis. I pull boot back enough to slide grease needle in there than pack her full.

Thanks for this post. Was only finding 3 on my '18. Found this post and looked harder. Found the last one. I have a 137 LTX 50 year LE. The 2 at the back are easy to see looking back. The one up front toward the middle of the track is located high and can be seen when looking forward. The last one is close to this one but lower and a little toward the back but still in the center of the track and can be seen by looking back and down.

The squeak comes from the sway bar bushings where they ext the chassis. Viper had it and so does this sled! I’ve used a good Teflon spray on them since 2016 and it lasts for a good while!
