Default Squeaky swingarm...what to do?

My swingarm squeaks when the rear suspension is travelling. Although I can't hear it when the quad is on (so loud), others can...

All they here is a big powerful engine sound and squeaky squeaky squeaky.

What can I do to shut it up??

Thanks

When mine was doing this the first time i took the top and bottom shock bolts out and they where bent prety bad. If they where any worse i probobly wouldent have been able to get them out. Whent to the dealer and they did not have any on hand and had to order them. They wanted several bucks each for them so i went to the local John Deere dealership and got them for 25 cents each. They are a grde 8 metric bolt. Greased them and reinstaled and no squeak.

you don't have to remove any thing the upper shock bolt goes through a black rubber seal where it mounts to the frame . take the weight of the rear stick a flat head screwdriver and pry the shock (lightly left then right sraying your chain lube on both sides of the rubber and it won't sqeak hope this helps[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
