Default 06 rancher squeek?

hey everyone, my 06 rancher has started a pretty annoying squeek in the front end when it is pressed down by hand or riding. Its a constant when riding pretty much. My buddies does the same thing. Anyone else have this problem? Tried greasing all the alemites but it still does it. Could it be a bushing or shock?

Our '06 does the same thing...try some Boeshield T-9 or Break-Free CLP. I like the Boesheild T-9, as it dries to a waxy type of lubricant.

Now just wiggle the quad around while you spay all the A-arm bushings and the shock mounts. This usually keeps the quad "sqeek-free" for 3-4 washings with a hose and some simple green. It also works well on the rear break levers, it keeps them from getting jammed with mud.

You can drill and tap the A-arms for grease fittings....but to me that's too much of a hassle. They are some tough S.O.B's. Other than deep mud its kept up with all of the bigger quads.
