Default Creaking Cam

I've got a Hoyt Raider bow that is fairly old. At least one of the wheels creaks when I draw. Is there any way to quiet that without taking the bow apart? My bow still seems fairly noisy, even though I replaced the string and have cat's whiskers and a "doinker" style stabilizer. Are there any other suggestions to make my bow quieter?? Thanks, ya'll.

I just lubed my older pse polaris express with some Dupont teflon lube spray(just a little on the axels/cams and cableslide)its about 5$a can. its good for everything. Dont use wd40.! There is some other spray thats in a black can its in the Martin archery catalog(cant remember the name) its also very good spray but hard to find and a little more $$. also make sure nothing is loose on your bow.

Thanks, Alpha. I'll have to try that. Not all of us have the budget required for a new bow. I'd like to be able to hunt this year without worrying about a noisy bow.
