then something else must be squeaking

you can pin it down if you can identify when it squeaks

does it squeak when turning?
acceling/ braking?
potholes/ speedbumps?
flex?

Quick thought, because mine was squeaking like crazy. One of my front springs became unseated from the perch at full droop and spun a few degrees, just enough to set the bottom of the spring at an angle that leaned my sping into the frame. When I went over a bump, or accelerated, or stopped, or started it, or looked at it... well you get the point... Just a thought.

my springs and bushings squeak alot. graphite spray helps, but dust kills it after a trip.
