    Squeaky Rear Link - 04 Predator

    I've had a 04 Predator TLD 500 for past 2 years. I've ridden this thing very hard and wash it thoroughly after every ride. I've noticed loud squeaking when I get on/off the quad coming from rear linkage area and it seems to be getting worse. I have the Fox Podium Shocks front/back. I don't think the shocks though are squeaking.

    Have any of you dealt with this? Thanks.

    Predators don't have a rear linkage. Could possibly be the shock bushings worn out.

    it is your swingarm pivot bolt and bushings. they have a plastic spacer between the swingarm and the frame. spray it down good with wd40 and see if i goes away, bet it does!

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to try hitting this swingarm area hard with WD40 and seeing what happens.
