Squeaking shock problem fixed
Thanks for all the help. I pulled the tire and and the shock still had a noise. I don't know if you can say dumb ass on this forum but that's what I am when I installed my stabilizer and bar link rods will I tighten the bar links to tight were they could not move and the lower ball joint on the bar link was seized up so with a little wd40 and work it is good no noise loosened up the other side to. I thought the bike handled good but now it is great. Thanks again for all the help

This makes no sense ...... the " shock " still had a noise ...... so I lubed the ends of bar links and that fixed it !!!!!! ...... THE SHOCK WAS NEVER MAKING NOISE TO BEGIN WITH ...............jmho....... Mike

Mike, He said that he had the links too tight, he loosened them and had to unseize one of the ball joints, now all is well...
