The front suspension on my Rancher is sqeaking quite a bit while going through the trail. Has 4500klms. on it and has never missed a beat yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Try taking each shock loose at the bottom and putting some grease in the lower bushing of the shock. Mine was squeaking not long after I got it and the dealer couldn't figure out what it was. I finally traced it to the lower shock bushing where it bolts to the A-arm. The service manual says it's supposed to have moly grease in their but mine was dry as a bone. I squirted some grease on my finger and ran it inside the bushing, put it back together and not a squeak since.

Well after taking off the lower shock mounts and liberally applying moly grease, the noise is still there. Possibly the top shock mounts???????? Still sounds like the noise is coming from the bottom.
