400ex, squeaky suspension

[big_poppa49]

I know, wrong forum. Posted in the suspen. forum a while back but not many replies, maby i'll get more here.

I go through alot of creeks and stuff where I ride and my front end squeeks aweful! I dont really know where its coming from. Any suggestions? Maby something other than WD-40. Also I really dont know where to spray anything.

WD 40 on a arms and ur front suspnesion;)

under?? :confused:

Take em apart, re-oil them and clean them up. If your to lazy to do that then your only next option would be to spray lubricant on them, like wd-40 :p

[big_poppa49]

Ya im too lazy to do all that, hehe :D . You think WD-40 is about the best stuff?

[sly400ex]

Try white lithium grease, I think it's a little better!:)

[big_poppa49]

is that a spray or is that just something you rub and pack on?

[sly400ex]

Both...but I'm lazy, I just use the spray!!!

[Destructo]

Mine is squeky also, but I think the bearings in the top a-arm is worn out :(

[cknox88]

use PB Blaster that stuffs the best!

take it apart. check if your bushings are shot. re grease your bushings as well.

If it is your shocks most likely you have them to tight and loosen them a bit and u will be fine.

If it is your a-arms and you have heim joints just get sylicone spray and it helps

DO NOT USE WD-40 ON YOUR A-ARMS AND SHOCKS!!!!!!!it shouldnt be used as a lubricant because alls it does is wash away any grease that might still be in there so when it dries it ends up being even sqeakier. go with a good marine grease or white lithium grease.;)

go to truckstop and get WATERPROOF grease if ya wanna get fancy, water doesnt wash it off. wont wash off ur clothes either so carefull. thats the grease they put on the fifth wheels on the semis.
