I am new to the ATV scene and the shocks on my 4 month old Honda Recon just started to squeak. Is it as simple as oiling them or is there more to it than that?? (Sorry if this is a stupid question!)
Thanks in advance!

Hey DWavs, what you need to do is take the bolt out of where the shock connects to the frame and A-arms and look at the bushings. If they are bad, replace them and if not the just grease them up real good.

id say it would be fine but if it bothers you that much then grees up the bushings that will prevent it and it will need greesing in a year or two you will most likly get woter in their and squeak.
