Squeaky rear

So my back right side tends to squeak a lot. I think the shock may be done but am not sure. Bushings are greased, I just think the shock has dried out or something. Anybody have any thoughts

Just went to check it and i pulled up and pushed on that wheel well and it squeaks

UMI comes with Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings.. Might be the problem... I use a white lithum grease on my bushings to help with the noise... Good Luck in finding the squeek...

Yep that is what I use(white Lithium). I added a few squirts last night and seems to have helped. Wonder why that one would dry out faster than the others. Oh well I need new shocks anyways since they are 150k stock. Any ideas on medium good shocks and springs without lowering

Use wd40 on the bottom of the coil spring.Bend the little red tube thing on the can,and saturate the bottom of the coil spring.Hope this helps.
