After pulling the entire stem out of the fork and greasing, the creaking was still present. But after spraying PB Blaster on the hinge itself, the noise is totally gone. Verified with 2 separate rides. So it seems there is something (perhaps the delrin/plastic part) that needs lubrication in the hinge to keep it quiet?
