[R-390] R-390/A

[Barry]

Each slug has a small plate at the top of the rack that secures it to the rack.  The screw holes in those plates allow for a little radial movement.  You may find that loosening those screws, allowing the slug to align itself a bit, and then retightening those screws may eliminate the squeak.

I've not tried it, but I think a dry lube like talcum powder may also help.

Thanks,
