Popping and clicking is more or less normal in a dry nut. If you pack it with grease it will go away for a while but it soon comes back. Here’s the catch, ballnuts like to be oiled NOT greased. Sorta’ a catch 22, mount the nuts where you will never see it again, then oil it regularly.

Here’s what we’ve tried and are now do on all of our custom mills. We figured out how to mount a one-shot oiler to the mill and plumb it to all 3 nuts. Once a day, pull the handle and you’re good to go. It’s actual pretty cool, and works very well. Even Rockford thought it was pretty neat.
