Rear Shock Squeak

Post by JamieNeve »

Hey everyone,

Recently my rear shock has started squeaking really loudly when it is compressed. Someone outside my local bike shop hear it today and said his did the same and required the bearings in the shock to be changed.

Does this sound like what is wrong?

Is there any way for me to fix this myself, as I don't want to pay a garage unless I really habe to?

Cheers!

Yes there is a way to do it yourself
However there's no bearings in the shock and its more likely to be a dry bearing in the bottom linkage
