TLR rear shock squeak

[eurotrash]

OK finally cleared some room in my garage and got the TLR rear suspended from the rafters.

ready to strip out the rear shock and replace with one i got from ebay for 20 quid. also gonna take off swingarm and regrease in case its that.

Any tips would be appreciated. [in leymans terms plz]

I had a squeak in the rear of my TLS that was driving me nuts. I couldn't find out where it was coming from, but a couple shots of WD-40 on the shock piston rod cleared it right up.

Yeah good luck, that's one of my winter projects. That little squeak get real annoying real fast.

I would imagine it's the same mounting idea as the TLS and for me I put some grease on the damper mounting bolts and the surfaces where the damper and the mount meet... not a peep since.

The S has a problem with a squeaky rear, the R not that I know of. Some lube on the shock piston rod should be the solution. If not, have you checked all the mountings for the shock and damper units. And I mean all the mountings.

I've used locktight on all the mountings, and lube all moving parts on my rear each and every time I clean and lube my chain. Prolly won't make any difference, but it's peace of mind
