Gladiator NXT EVO Squeaking noise

[Benreparn]

Hello!

I recently dusted off my Gladiator NXT EVO Omni Throttle Premium, which I hadn’t used much since taking a break from sim games. However, when I started using it today, I noticed a loud and annoying squeaking noise whenever I tilt the joystick left or right. Maybe worth mentioning is that it's very sparsely used even before my break.

Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions on how to fix it? I’ve attached a video so you can hear the noise. Thanks in advance!

Perhaps something got under the protective gray cover that moves together with the rod when the handle is moved. It should be disassembled and inspected. Let me remind you that the Evo has a hidden cavity with spare grease for the dampers; when disassembling, you should check them and, if necessary, renew the grease.

Thanks for the reply, I disassembled it yesterday and it was indeed the gray cover making the noise.
