After having my shop do the fix (no charge) I've been creak free for almost two years. Not sure why manufacturers haven't done this during the initial assembly?
I believe they are doing it now. If you check out the Cannondale tech manuals, they instruct on how to use loctite in the installation. This one's for a PF30, but you get the idea.
