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.

Only if they are rubber,
Poly bushes need correct lube, or they go brittle.

from our AZ forum maker of poly bushes

Quote:

Grease containing molydisulphide is the thing to use. Castrol LMM is one.
Mineral based grease will destroy poly.
