Has anyone ever experienced a squeaky Dubro ball link?

i have the monster size links, and on both wings, they are squeaking, and squeaking pretty loud!!

Never heard of such. Put a little drop of oil on them??

I'm guessing it's hinges not the ball links?

Hmmm. Could be. The Robart point hinges can squeak?

Yes, particularly if you have a small amount of epoxy in them or if some are out of alignment with the rest.

Just started squeaking after 20 flights. I used masking tape on hinge area and then used poly u glue
Once it cured, I peeled the masking tape. Ok, I did put Vaseline on the hinges prior to gluing them, maybe they are dry now. Makes sense. What can I use? I have this grimracer grease that is waterproof. Would this be good or bad? Thank you for discovering the problem!!
