Alpha Z tower creaking noise

[ray.gusman.35]

Hi, the tower on my 2011 RZR makes an intermittent creaking? noise when under load pulling a rider (only happens on the drivers side tower leg) Seems to be within the tower base. I have a short vid with the noise in question
I'm thinking it maybe the spring to assist tower collapsing
Anyone have a similar problem or can throw some thoughts on what it is and how to fix? TIA
Ok so I can't upload the vid

Bump this thread...
Anyone have any thoughts on what's causing the creak noise... is there a spring internally? TIA

I have seen this issue. Try and adjust the screw where it pivots with a large flathead. Also, make sure that all the bushings are in there and that the base and top part are lined up. Take note of any area where the powder coat is worn away indicating the area of contact. Add some rubber in this area to prevent the contact.

Thanks for the info, will look into these
