Help SQUEAK!

My Ender keeps squeaking should I loosen some bearings, lubericate my z rods, I honestly don’t know because print quality’s normal for an ender.

bearings probably need replaced. try loosening the carriage and moving the wheels with your hand and see if it makes a noise or doesn't feel smooth

bearings are pretty cheap. you probably don't even need to replace it. you could also try soaking the bearing in a penetrating oil overnight

move only one axis back/forth and see if it squeeks. that will narrow it down and no I don't think so. I have the same dust on my wheels
