Landing gear squeak

We went from a pull trailer to a new fifth wheel last September. We have not camp with it yet but have had it back to the dealer for warranty work and add-ons. Today I went out and was doing things in the fifth wheel and noticed an annoying squeak as I moved around the fifth wheel. I traced the squeak down to the landing gear but could not figure out why it is squeaking or why it just started. What can I do to get rid of this? I noticed a zert fittings on each side, do you think maybe they need greased or what? Help please as I can take my time and figure it out but it is driving my wife crazy and that drives me crazy.

Thank You
Albert

I too have noticed a very annoying squeak from the off door side landing gear. I did not see any grease zert when I looked.
Thanks Mike

When we first got ours we had the same squeak. It was beyond annoying. I tried everything including WD-40 to no lasting avail. It is gone after we added our Steadyfast system.

I tried to grease the landing gear but both fittings had been painted and had to be replaced. Not sure if that would help your squeak problem but.....the fittings are there for a reason.

Drove some grease Into all 4 of the zerks and sprayed the legs with Jig-A-Loo. Squeak is gone.
Will be looking at strong arms later.
