Tower Squeaking on SV-211

[ranger3]

I have an '04 SV-211 with the factory tower. We've only been out twice this year and I've noticed a loud squeak in the tower and it shakes from side to side. I did not notice it last year, with or without boards in the racks. All of the hardware seems to be tight but I don't want to chance stripping anything out.

Any ideas on how to get rid of the noise?

Put some oil/grease on the "balls" that go into the sockets at the rear joints between the upper and lower tower. Every tower I have seen shakes (Titan I may be the exception), you probably just did not notice it before. My 211 tower shakes but it is silent.

I'll try that next weekend. It always shook from side to side, I just don't remember the creaking/squeaking sound.

Thanks!
