The rear shock on my warrior has an extremely loud squeak. I would really like to know some way to lubricate it instead of buying a new one. Any suggestions or comments?

THANKS!!

Remove the shock and grease the bushings/bearings. If you have a linkage w/zerks grease them to. If you have a linkage w/no zerks, remove it and grease them too. Spray a SMALL amount of lube ( teflon spray, rec.) the shaft.

Thanks for the advice! Do you think it could be the swing arm bearings that I'm hearing instead of the shock??

On my bikes, the sqeaking suspension has always been the rubber bushings on the ends of the shocks. A little waterproof grease and the squeek is gone..for the season at least.
