    Mine's a different sound, hard to describe really though. It sounds to me more of an issue that may need a replacement part rather than grease or similar to sort. Saying that though, it is something I've had on RGZ since I got her in 2006 and hey, 4 and a half years later and nothings fallen off

    When I had it it gave of a kind of groan with a slight judder [terminal arthritis in humans]..its where the rubber mount has deterioated and causes slight friction when you turn to lock one way..the only perminant remedy is replacement..its a pain of a job because of the length of the OEM springs that are fitted but there is always a way around these things..I hadnt done a stilo before this and managed no problemo..

    Yeah, that's what I had been thinking it was. Getting the indie garage to have a look at them when it's up on the ramps come service time along with the slight adjustment my exhaust needs i.e. the use of a hammer to reposition the support prongs - the wonders of a custom exhaust made to fit a worn mount :p
