I have had this problem myself and seen it on other DS's as well. The noise is coming from the top shock bolt. What you have to do is get the back wheels off the ground and remove the top shock bolt and bushing. Work some greese (waterproof) into the bushing(you will have to pivot it around to do so) and the bolt. Reassemble and the noise will be gone.

I have to do mine about once a year.

 

hey MRDS650 lryt. thanx alot for help. il be sure to try this during the weekend
