My Catalyst 75 squeaks. The pivoting suspension is great but noisy. I have tried silicon spray, but still noisy. I have been using the pack for 6 day trips for the past several years. Any ideas?

I have the same issue; the pack is wonderful but the noise is extremely irritating. I'm not sure if there's much that can be done. I am planning on contacting TNF about it. . .
