Be sure that whoever does this for you uses the GREEN loctite, anything stronger and you could end up damaging the frame upon the next service!
Thanks for the insight, I will be sure to mention that to the shop when I go in. I hope yours continues to be silent, as I know first hand how frustrating that noise is
