Anyone know why my shocks might be sqeeking so much... they have like 4 rides on them, and the first two rides there was no noise... then all the sudden they are driving me crazy. The shocks are ZPS ARC shocks and still ride like brand new... just make a lot of noise... any clue?

Have you tried greasing your a-arm bushings and shock mount bolts yet?

The bike was put together not long ago... has about 5 rides and... I tried both of your suggestions already. anyone else? I am thinking maybe the seal is dry somehow and needs to be lubricated so I am going to spray the shaft with some silicone or soemthing and see if that helps.

Mine squeak sometimes from between the spring spacers and the shock body. A little squirt of teflon spray and it's good to go.
