Have you greased them up? My Kinetix arms must have been pretty dry when I got them as they started squeaking in less than a month on the car. I pulled them off and cleaned all the original grease out and put my zerk grease gun on them and used that to put good Mobil 1 grease back in. Now no squeak and they don't drag.

They don't squeak since I re-greased them, but there is some drag.

It's not real bad, if you hold the arm all the way up and let go, it slowly swings to the bottom, rather than falling like a rock like these sphericals will.
