Most likely the shock bushings. Unbolt and remove the shocks. At each end, slide out the bushing sleeve. Clean them with WD40, brake cleaner, or carb cleaner. Clean the inside of the shock eyelet as well. Grease everything up with a good waterproof grease and reassemble. Your squeaks should be taken care of :cool:

No prob man ;)

The shock bushings are usually it 90% of the time. They don't get much grease from the factory and will dry out on you real quick.

the bottom set was a little more slopped out than dry, so ill be replacing those, the top set i couldnt get out and was siezed in so ill be cleaning them ones and putting her back together full of grease, im sure that will fix the problem. thanks for the help.
