So, after installing RPG raceline 1.5 UCA at Texas Raptor Run, and putting them through their paces. From jumps, diry, grit, and Sundays mud bath then driving home 700 miles. No issues with these excellent UCA and other products.. Now, after several car washes, and urban enviroment for over 30 days and 1000+ miles.. They have started groaning and squeaking at lower speeds (might be doing it at higher speed, just can't hear it, or I am too old to hear it).
So, I looked at them, no dirt, rust or anything out of ordinary.. I emailed Corey and asked him about the noise. As soon as I hit send I had his response...

" Hello Greg,

I hope that you and Brandi are doing well.

Home Depot and Lowes sell a dry film lubricant that has Teflon. I recommend this due to a few things. Cheap. Dry so more dirt won't stick to the bearings and Teflon is the base lubricant. If you would like, I can get you the item number from lowes. That is where I usually go.

He was spot on $4, a couple of drops on bearings, and a short drive. PERFECTION! Grinding, and squeaks are gone, and frontend is smooooth as butter again!

Amazing top notch customer service, during and after the sale!

Had the squeek the weekend at little Sahara. But I was ready for it thanks to this post from Greg.

Couple drops of the Teflon, and all quiet now.

Thanks!

Are there still plans for making a dust cover??
