Lube for a squawking speedometer
As the title states, my speedometer is driving me nuts with the squawking.
What is a good lube for it? |

Re: Lube for a squawking speedometer
Mine annoys the crap out of me as well. Only certain speeds I can hear it. 15-30 I can hear it awful, higher speeds nothing! I do not want to pull my cluster, can you spray lube it?

Re: Lube for a squawking speedometer
Lithium grease is the worst thing to use. It attracts dirt and will gum up. If you want to do it properly they make a graphite spray.

I pulled the face and then unclipped the speedometer cable and then removed the speedometer. Gave it a good cleaning and used some Motorplate 105 assembly lube, also replaced all my instrument panel bulbs. |

Re: Lube for a squawking speedometer
Mine makes the same noise. Was the culprit the cable or speedo head? Where would one find the proper graphite spray?
