Creaking Alko Stabiliser

Hi folks, wonder if anyone can help with this one.
Took the caravan to the east coast last week.
The Freelander performed admirably.
On the way back after travelling a 100 miles, turning into my close the stabiliser started creaking loudly.
I have given the towbar a good clean and have bought some brake cleaner to clean the stabiliser.
I have also examined the pads and taken a photo.
Just wondering if it would be worth replacing the pads also.

Sometimes get a bit of groaning from ours but only on tight turns so I've left it alone. If it started doing it all the time I would give things a gentle rub with some wet and dry first and change the pads if that didn't cure it. Mine, Saab convertible

Mine started doing the same on my recent Scotland trip. I temporarily lifted the Alko handle (taking the grip pressure off) & the creaking stopped. Now home I have changed the 4 pads & problem sorted. Wow! Handle is a lot harder to fasten now!
