Mine squeaks in static. I think it's kind of normal. It seems like many people have issues with this.

It only squeaks wen am doin movers clockwise cud I hae over tightened the x-joints?? x
No, tight xjoints will not cause that. I would suspect that either one of your bearings has gone bad or they need lubricated. Ther are bearings in both the top and bottom of the pole. Where specifically is the squeaking coming from?

It's at th top it squeaks hun. he Wud I find the bearing. xx
I cannot remember for sure if the bearings on the X are totally enclosed or partially. The total center part of teh dome is the bearing : http://news.buydancepoles.com/files/2010/12/x-pole-top-dome.jpg This is what the bearing looks like if it was not in the dome: http://www.bearings-china.com/pixviewer/2.jpg The inner ring should rotate freely with just your finger. I had an issue with my bottom bearing when I got my pole....it was actually impinged when they set it into the bottom of the A pole and they sent me a whole new threaded section. A small drop of light machine oil in the grooves may be all you need. Typically if you have a sewing machine or electric razor you get a tube of machine oil.
