What kind of noisy? If they are squeaky, grease them with a good synthetic grease. I use Mobil 1 red synthetic grease on the poly ends of my Spohn rod/poly LCAs.

What type of noise are getting from them?

We have never had a complaint on a poly/poly set-up like that. Maybe we can get it to go away.

Thanks,
Ryan

What kind of noise is it?
What kind of shocks do you have?
Is everything tightened to spec?

You need to look into those first, and actually check on the third one.
