My quad sqeaks loudly on every little bump. I'm assuming this means that I need to grease it or spray some wd-40 on it..But because you have all been so helpful I figured I would ask you before I went and did something stupid. thanks for all the help gentlemen.

you may need to buy a grease gun (bout $12 at local hardware store) and grease the joints. The sound may be coming from where the swingarm connects to the frame instead of the actual shock

Mine squeeks as well. Always has. I grease it everytime I wash it. Use a good waterproof grease. I like Green Grease but any waterproof will do. Mine always squeeks at the swingarm as mentioned before but I am yet to find a grease zerk in that area.
