---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment John- I have experienced what you describe. I have often found the offending glide bolts to be somewhat loose... sometimes enough so to allow being turned by hand, but any movement at all can translate into squeak, though I don't know why. Even if not that loose, you can feel the friction by holding the glide stem lightly, as you shift the action. I try to correct any loose glides by glue sizing. I'm wondering though...if what you did corrected the problem, why isn't that the solution? Am I misunderstanding something?
