Yep I had the same noise in turns. They said it’s from moisture between the aluminum ball shank and friction cone...
Bill- Here’s a couple videos; first shows how the Andersen works vs traditional spring bars, second shows how the Andersen overcomes a lot of the “complaints) of a traditional WDH.

Here’s a third party, average Joe style review:

To anyone with an Andersen WDH, there has been a bit of a redesign (again).

You’ll see a lot of people on a lot of RV forums say the Andersen can’t possibly work. Read a little further, they’ve never used one. I’ve only ever read about one person who bought the Andersen WDH and couldn’t get it dialed in. He was given a full refund. Everyone else I’ve spoken to that has used it, loves it.
