[T2] Link Pin shims

[Bob]

WD-40 is NOT a lubricant it is a solvent and will wash grease and oil off 
things and in effect make it worse.  use a good quality spray on lube that 
will not damage rubber. CRC makes some good ones I personally like 
something called "Tri-Flow" lubricant on stuff like that, a little goes a 
long way but it is pricy about $15-20 for a single spray can, and it is 
hard to find, Grangers either has it or can get it, not sure any one else 
would try "Tractor Supply" if one is around.

as for the squek noise have you checked your shock absorbers.?? I once had 
a squek in one of the mounts where the bolt had come slightly loose and 
tightening it back up was all that was needed.

YMMV of course
good luck

Bob
