The loadall here creaks all the time when lift or lowering the boom,
Was making the noise at time of service and the mechanics , just said , yeah they do that,
But I think that's crap , they shouldnt be and doesn't sound right, also can anyone confirm should the boom have more waxoil applied, we were told not to do it as it would get done at service, well they showed as much interest in waxoyling the boom as they have in sorting out the creaking noise

wax oiling the boom will not help if its on the lift and lowering, lift ram or main boom pivot pin isnt getting grease to were it should be or the bushes are spinning in the ram eye.

I have a 2009 model, i complained and complained while it was under warranty, nothing to worry about they said. As soon as the warranty finished they decided it needed rebuilding. Rear pin is not really man enough IMO.
