probably the bushings in the rear outer carrier. there is no grease fitting there, so you have to take apart the suspension to clean and grease them.

 

Take the shocks off and clean the bushings at each end, grease them and put bolts back in

 

You don't say what shocks you have but rear squeeks can be from several places. One is the rear outer carrier as Cliff said, another can be the shock bushing themselves if you have Fox shocks, they are dry from the factory. Look up the Fox Podium Maintenance thread for the various fixes. And last, but not least is the sway bar mount. It has zerk fittings on each end, but people have noted that even if greased, the grease doesn't penetrate all the way around and will squeek like crazy. I can't say I've had this problem, because the sway bar was the first thing to go in the trash on my S.

 

I have the same problem, the front is dead silent, but the read squeaks like crazy! I will have to grease up the shock bushings and see if that does the trick.

 

If you are working on Foxes, there is a heim inside the outer bushings, this is where the squeek usually is. To remove the heim there is a tiny snap ring on each side. I used a dental pick to get mine out. You may not have to remove the heim to clean and lube it. I got tired of fighting it and installed a set of Super Dave's Delrin Bushings. One final note, overtightened shock bolts can cause issues also. The torque specs for all the shock bolts is 27-33 ft/lb.

 

perfect, thank you for the tip, and yes I am working on fox shocks

 

I'm running stock on the RZR S. I will start with the grease zerk. If that doesn't fix it then I will take them off and grease each end. Thanks for the advise all.

The purple polaris grease works best to get the squeeking to stop if its your bushings, idk whats in it but it works. I tried lucas and some other brands but they made more noise with the non polaris grease. Hope this helps

 

More than likely the squeak is coming from the sway bar bushings, try this first, squirt a bit of wd 40 in each bushing where the sway bar connects to the frame - ride it through some bumps - almost put money on it that it gets quiet

 

I will try that. Thanks all for the tips

 

I use DieMakers lithium grease , it seems to work well and holds up to the elements.

 

Ok guys I greased all the zerks and used wd40 on all the places u guys mentioned and the noise went away until I got it wet again. The next time I rode the noise was worse than ever. So I'm thinking ive found the right spots but need to take it apart and get some waterproof grease into those joints. Am I thinking correctly on this?

 

Grease all the fittings with marine grease. Make sure to lube the sway bar fittings. That's where most of my squeaking came from.

When installing the zerks how far do I go in. Through the bushing to the sleeve? The bushings split in the middle, where at in the bushings do I drill, inbetween the two or only through one?

 

I wouldn't drill my a arm. You create a weak point and lower the total strength of the arm. Before anybody slams me on this comment get your engineering notebook out and do the statics and strengths on the arm.

Thanks to everybody for the suggestions. I have a Razr xp900 With fox . Loosened The bolts on both ends of the shocks and oiled them where they meet the frame. The horrible squeak That drove me insane is now gone. My problem was on the front end

 

For your RZR-S Fox Shocks, RZR-Jeff wrote up this maintenance detail for getting rid of the squeaks, great write up and pictures. I'd suggest you all read it.
My 2013 had all the same issues, this cures it.
Thanks and props to RZR-Jeff, see his write up at the link below.

X2. Love that thread. Did it and now I love the way mine DOESN'T sound.

 

I recently took off my front shocks to decrease the squeak by greasing the bushing by hand.

 

Whenever I do my shock maintenance I lube the a-arm pivot points, and I lube the outer upper bearing carrier by removing the bolt and cleaning and lubing that joint. Also, while lubing the zerks I cycle the suspension up and down by hand (shocks and tires removed and you'll have to disconnect the sway bar, I don't run one) to work the grease into the a-arm bushings under no load. If you try to do it with any liad on the a-arms, you may not get the grease all the way into the bushings. I use Green Grease and had good luck with it.
