For a while now, I've been chasing an intermittent squeaking issue on the driver's side front wheel. It would only occur at low speeds, on sharp right turns, like pulling into a parking spot, or turning at an intersection. After spraying silicone spray around all the joints, the noise would eventually go away for weeks or months, and then come back.
Finally think I singled out the issue, when spraying the UBJ pinch bolt, the squeaking would go away after a few turns. Pulled out the grease gun and after a single squeeze, the grease came out BEFORE the fitting. Suspecting a clogged zirk, I pulled it to test, but grease flowed freely through it, so that means problem with the UBJ correct? Are there any options other than replacement?
