Yes we've had that too. It's dirt on the pads inside the alko stabiliser. You can clean them with spray brake cleaner. We had to remove ours and then clean them. Instructions on removal are on the Alko website. Hope that helps. Mags

Mine was embarrassingly creaky last year so gave the towball a rub down with fine emery cloth and gave the hitch pads a quick ru and hasn't creaked since.

I also had exactly the same problem which was really annoying and embarrasing when pulling onto campsites, I rubbed down the towball and cleaned  out the hitch with meths, Result...No more noisy creaking
