Did a search, but couldn't find anything! Okay, so about 2 weeks ago I got my shockers replaced.. just a couple of days ago i've been getting a loud squeak, and it's getting progressively worse. Sounds like the front right one to me... how do i fix the friggen squeak? |

It could be the shock bush squeaking. Maybe try taking the shock off and putting some rubber grease on the shock pin. |

New poly bushes can do that. More grease can help. But could also be spring leaves shifting around. |

Also check that the top shock mount has not come loose. |

Mineral based grease will destroy poly. |
