B & W Companion Slider

[mpk73]

I have had the Companion Slider for a year now, love the whole system and the fact that I can hook up to the trailer at any angle. But, when using the slider for a tight turn, the hitch makes a loud screeching noise while its sliding back or forward. I have lubed the rails and the area that slides on the rails with white lithium, but can't squelch the metal on metal sound. I think my neighbors think I hit something every time I back into our driveway.
Do other Companion Slider users have the same experience?

I'll be able to tell you soon enough. I'm getting mine at the beginning of next week. Hopefully it's something we can get some feedback on in here and it's just something simple.

Let me know how it works for you. You might want to check the clearance between the tailgate and rear of the pin box... I ended up grinding a 1/4" off the rear of the pin box to clear mine..
