I have a Manitou Black Comp fork that works awesome except.... That it sounds like the the coil springs are squeaking. It does it really bad when it is in 100mm mode. I figured I would just download the service manual. But the fork I have was sent in for service and when they sent it back they put new left and right side internals in and not where they originally were. The travel adjuster is now at the top of the fork now. So basically all the internals don't match what the manual says. I already put grease in the ports. It mixed with the oil and is now at the bottom of the fork. If I turn the bike upside down it does help for a while. Anyone know any tricks to fix this annoying little problem. Also simple instruction for servicing the fluid flow cartridge would be helpful........jdcamb

squeaking? What symptoms? When does this happen?
Top of a climb out of the saddle. Loud as smack. Sometimes after a bighit. And almost always after I change the travel for a few minutes afterwards. I can turn the bike upside down and it stops.......jdcamb
