that to me sounds like the suspension top bearing is seized and that noise is the rubber on the body, when it makes the noise does the steering want to turn back the opposite way as you let go?
Absolutely no issues with mine, I'm less concerned about the sub 5 year old braided rear lines than I am the rest of the 25yr old system that I can't inspect.
Just make your own ones, or get some better condition ones from a scrappy If you can find some, nothing odd the shelf will fit without...
