are you talking about the cable slide? If so, you can either swap it out with a new teflon slide or just put some lube on it.

I allways replace factory cable slides with teflon right from the start.

About how much do the Teflon slides cost and what lube would be recommended? I assume the cable slide is the plastic piece attached to the strings that moves on along the cable guard. I'm pretty new to it so I don't know.

?? probably 10 bucks ... don't know exactly it's been awhile sine I needed one but I'd replace it before using lube but that's just my personal preference.

Check and see if the guide rod has loosened up and rotated some. rotation or looseness could make the guide slide at an angle and make noise... just a thought.
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.
