When I turn my handlebars left or right I get a hideous squeek. Obviously something needs to be lubricated. It just started happening after I towed the quad through a 1 hour, SUPER DUSTY, dirt road.

Anyone know where I need to lubricate?

On the upper bracket there is a green
steering bushing pull that off and grease
that bushing the squeeking will go away
and it will steer nicer

Same here, grease the top bushing and it will go away.

Before you grease it, make sure you clean out the sand and grit.
Otherwise...
