[FC] Squeaks and creaks

[Merv Krull and or Loretta Prosser]

Try using a silicone lube spray in all the bushings. The silicone will not 
attract dirt and dust and ultimately make things worse. That said, if the 
bushings are old and not as flexible as they once were (who isn't?) they 
will let dirt in and out which may account for the here today gone tomorrow 
groaning...??? New rubber ought to do the trick...
my 2 cents
