Anyone every had a pedal (brake, clutch, gas) that made a clicking or popping noise? I think it is technically a creak which is just a series of pops/clicks. From what I can tell, there are four spots that can be making the noise. The spring, the bushing/bearings that are holding the ends of the spring, the hinge or pivot point, the mechanism where the cable/plunger/push rod is entering the firewall. Any suggestions on what lubricants to use? In the case of a a plunger/push rod entering a master cylinder, is it best to avoid greases that have any additives like teflon or molybdenum? I remember reading that somewhere but can't remember where. Here is what I am thinking:

1. Plunger/push rod - Polyurea thickened grease and preferrably one that uses an ester oil as its base. Honda makes a urea grease that people rave about.
2. Spring - Ester based bearing grease with molybdenum like Redline's bearing grease.
3. Pivot - Same as the spring.
4. Spring bearing/bushing - Bushing grease like the one sold by Energy Suspension. I don't know the composition but it is supposed to be good for metal to rubber/plastic contact where the metal is sliding inside the rubber/plastic. I think they are more tacky for such applications.

Comments? Suggestions?
