creaky rubber cones

Post by island blue »

I know this one is going to be funny, but anyway:
Does anybody know if there is any solution for creaky rubber cones?
It is not an issue, I know, but after few miles it drives me crazy. I fell like I'm driving chewing gum or "bath duck"...

Well, it sounds like rubber and I can reproduce it even on a standing car simply pushing it down...
If it would be knuckle joint, what would be the solution?
Thanks!

If it is a knuckle joint, replace it, if its a cone smother it in waxoyl.
