It seems to usually be the lower shock mounts but you should clean and lube all the pivot points.

Mine do too, up front of my 1999 ex i baught last week. I lube/oil them after every ride, then again before every ride too still squeaks but not much as it did when i baught it.

Where in NY do you live? (original poster this ? is to sorry forgot your handle) I'm from Batavia NY, close to Buffalo NY.

u can get pro honda spray white grease at your local dealer and just spray it into the pivot points....or just spray some wd-40 or something in there....worked for me

I just got mine to stop squeeking.:D I took out the lower shock bushings, sanded the rust off and put a lil grease on em. Now i dont sound like an old rocking chair going thru the woods.:o

use the same grease you would to pack bearings in a car. take the lower shock bolt out, the sleeve slides right out, lube the outside and inside of the sleeve, put it back together and ride no sqeeky suspension. whole process takes about 10 minutes for both.

a frienbd of mine drilled some holes and put 6 grease fittings up front in the suspension and i might too it is a great idea.

i dont think the front bearings are a sealed unit so it wouldnt be a bad idea. the bad side is.... im not sure what the bad side is:ermm:
