Does yours squeak like a box full of mice?

My Star cart, only six months old, is haunted by annoying squeaks. Not rattles, but squeaks, like something needs oil, graphite, rubber lube, whatever. The dealer's techs have looked at it three times, including taking it into the shop. But the annoying squeaks remain.

Is this the nature of the beast? Other carts I've owned didn't squeak, but they were gas and maybe I couldn't hear the squeaks over the engine noise.

I'm at a loss to know what to tighten or grease, and obviously, the service guys don't have clue either. It didn't squeak when I bought it, brand new. Now a few months later it does. FYI, this is an SST model with the high-back seats, dash, etc.

Any insights you wish to share will be appreciated. It's a gorgeous cart. I went with electric for the quiet. It ain't quiet!
