Anyone have any ideas of what might be wrong with my 2003 400ex. When I compress the back shock and it rebounds back up, it is making a loud cracking noise. The shock seem to work fine, I just wonder what the noise is. I have checked my swing arm bolt and it is fine. I checked the shock linkage and where it connects to the swing arm and it looks fine. I also checked the top mount (to the frame) on the shock and every thing is good. There is no oil or anything leaking out of the shock and no rocks or anything stuck in the spring. Any ideas? Anyone have a stock rear 400ex shock they want to sell cheap?

You may want to check the bearings in your linkage.

I tried spraying the crap out of it with WD-40 and it didn't help. Anyone know if a 2004 frame stock Z400 rear shock will fit a 2003 400ex?
