Default Shock prob. on 250ex

I have a 250ex and the shocks on it are very squeeky and i cant get them to stop. I have put lube on them and cleaned them but there still the same. Anyone who has any suggestions would be alot of help.

Will all due respect to Reconranger, you can address this issue. It took me a couple of shots at it to figure it out. This may not be the most techically correct desciption, but I think it will be enough to get you through it.

First disconnect the shocks at the lower mount.
Then push out the bushing that are in the lower mount that the shock bolt goes through.
Lube the bushing inside and out and reassemble.

The mistake I made initially is that I didn't realize there was a bushing in the lower mount that needed to come out. Most of the squeeking the between the bushing and mount.

Shouldn't take more than a half hour to do. I was bummed with my otherwise solid bike sounding like a Polaris going down the trail.

Good Luck
