Squeak ...LCA I think

[ktmrider]

Had a bad front suspension squeak and it went away, now its back with a vengeance. Sounds like the lower control arm bushings. Tried lubing them wo removing them with no luck. Do that need to be replaced to end the squeak? They are fine as far as wear.

Have you checked the sway bar bushings?
Most times that is where a lot of squeaks seem to come from

Get some silicone spray and apply generously...That should make em quiet again.

Probably sway bar bushings. Or, if you have aftermarket shocks, it could be the shock boot rubbing.

Silicone spray will quiet them for now, but it'll usually come back worse. At least that's what happened to mine.

Found it..kind of embarrassing actually. Clearly when you are given greaseable ball joints you are supposed to actually grease them on occasion.
