squeak/groan UST-7

[Ed Guerra]

You might check the bottom board and tighten all screws, or if you can't
place shims in order to keep it from moving.  Another thing, be sure to
check the action rest posts to see if someone forgot to raise them back up
when they lowered them inorder to remove the action.  What happens is that
when you step on the pedal the action shifts up and down.  Of course
tighten all bracket screws.  If it needs to be lubed, protec is a a good
way to go.  

Hope this helps you.
