Mine came pre-greased. If you're not sure, you can remove a zerk to be sure. Currie recommends moly grease for Johnny Joints. I use Redline CV-2 that I picked up pretty cheap on Google Shopping.Originally Posted by Deezus
My arms are making some creaking noises that's why I ask. I don't know if it's normal, or there's a break in period but it sounds like I'm riding in an old pirate ship.
It's driving me crazy.

Am I tripping... Looks like the outside edge of the bracket isn't welded
Would that cause it!?
Hmmm.... I think you might have something there, thanks a lot!

Yes, those should be welded. I just inspected mine to be sure, and I've got beads at all arrows...

Also, although this is my first experience with Johnny Joints, I would say that Johnny Joints may squeak, but not creak. I thought that my Johnny Joints were creaking, and it turned out to be broken brackets that were missing beads in the cutouts. So be sure to inspect everything very thoroughly.
Copy that.

I thought my Johnny joints were creaking. Turned out to be the body to frame bolts. I coated them in white lithium grease and the creaking is gone now.

The bolts that set the longarm brackets in place?
