ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM

 

I have this problem on my 2000 Kodiak as well as my buddy.On mine it is without a doubt the lower bushing on the shock.If you jack it up by the frame so that you unload the suspension,then remove the wheel you can unbolt the lower shock bolt without a problem.When you take out the bolt swing the shock out and there will be a brass looking insert that pushes into the shock.I remove mine,emory cloth it clean and jam it full of grease.This will stop it for a while but it will return.I would bet anything this is where your squeak is.Crappy design.Let me know what you find out.

My shocks have squeeked before. I sprayed some teflon sray on them and it stopped.
