Since fitting a new exhaust I'm having trouble with a
squeaking flexible sprung joint.
I've greased it a couple of times but it doesn't last
very long.
If anyone can suggest a permanent cure I'd be very
grateful.

Re: exhaust balljoint
Fit a new packing ring, the shaped washer that goes in the joint. That'll sort it.

the heater went cold last Thursday........
they check the level when it's serviced don't they?"

Re: exhaust balljoint
Thanks.I've just packed it with high temperature
copper grease but if it creaks again I'll try a new ring.

Re: exhaust balljoint
Agreed - a new ring should make a permanent fix.
Never had a squeak out of mine since I fitted it 3 years ago
