I read on some other sites that it could very well be dry spindle bushings. The description others had were exactly the same as mine. I will lube mine and let you know what happens. Some guys are changing the bushings to roller bearings but there seems to be many saying that is a bad idea. Re-lube bushings and you are done, if bearings dry out it can cause lots of problems. Plus if you get water in there (like we would ever go in water...) they could rust causing problems too. So keeping the bushings and lubricating them seems to be the way to go. I will repost when I get them done, it might be a few days though... have to find a 54mm socket.
