    most likey the small pads inbetween the leafs is your "squwak". at the end of each leaf there is a little plastic piece taht goes in between that leaf and the one above. just get some rubber or some thing and pry the leafs apart and stick it in there, should fix it. congrats on the spindle lift. post pics!
