Thanks to all the people who contributed suggestions, I have now conquered the squeek!!. After drowning all the rubber bushings in various sprays, I took to the ball joints. I drilled and tapped them and installed grease nipples. a shot of Molybdenum grease and the squeek is gone! Woohoo! It shows me just how inadequate sealed ball joints are. Now to attack that fan heater box.......I wonder where I should put the grease nipple.............. Geoff '82 aircooled Trakka camper
