Loud rubber squeak from bushings

amccaul · 01-15-2009, 08:33 PM

I have only about 15 hours on 2009 Ranger and this last weekend noticed that the bushings seem to squeak horribly as the frame goes up and down. Is this something the dealer forgot to lube? Can I lube these bushings and if so what should I use? Thanks!

I've had two Rangers and now have two Razors, add that to the plethora of other ATVs and I must admit that after running them through water they all make the loud squeak. If someone has a remedy I'm jumping in too..

Mine does it after riding in the rain and then drying off. I use either WD-40 or Silicone spray like what I use on the car door weather stripping and it works fine.

Look over your machine and where ever the rubber bushings are pinched against metal or where metal goes through a rubber bushing is where you spray.

Use a spray lubricant . At the very top of the strut there is a plastic bushing and that is normanlly the culprit. It is located at the between the top strut frame support and the spring cap.

Use white lithium grease. You can get it in a spray can and it is the best to use on those poly bushings .

Thanks for all the suggestions...I will stop by the parts store today for the remedy. I am sure it is the water getting in there as I have a creek I must cross every day to check cattle. Thanks again.
