I've got a sound that's good and close enough to rod P going into slot V, but it's only good for when the mounting assemblies hit each other.

If anybody knows any tips on how to make a sound that approximates the sound of the lubricated friction between those two parts when the mounts don't hit each other, I'd be thankful.

(if anybody wants to know the one I have, it's something like slightly wet hands holding each other by the fingertips and "clapping" with the free part)

I'd suggest trying to wet something like a counter with soapy water and rubbing your fingers against it? It would be kind of quiet

Thanks, I'll try that, if I can't get it to sound right, I do think I found a CC0 sound online that does what I want.
