Default Squeaky shocks on 2004 Raptor 660

Both the front and rear shocks squeak on my Raptor. They get worse once we ride for 20 to 30 minutes. Just pushing on the front or rear end makes them squeak - even before we ride. We have tried WD40 on all moving parts including the seals to no avail. On the rear, we have disassembled the whole lower linkage where the shock mounts and made sure everything is well lubricated. It still squeaks. Any ideas? Could it be grit has gotten into the shock seals? Can you replace just the seal?

The squeak from the rear is coming from the bolt that runs through the top shock mount, it's a problem on almost every Raptor I've seen, just lubricate the hell out of it and hopefully it will subside.
