Squeaks In The Suspension Or Joints?
Written by skeandco on 9/30/2012 at 12:00 am

Hi Coasters,

Since Bobb brought up the subject of dash rattles, I have one that I haven't seen asked.

Squeaky suspension...... Is it common for a PC to be squeaky when riding down the road. It is very apparent when going slow or on rough surfaces, such as my dirt road or the parking lot at work. I don't notice it so much at highway speeds. Probably due to wind and engine noise. To me it is quite loud, but that could just be me. Are there places or points on the bike that should be grease or oiled regularly that I don't know about that would quieten these down. I have pushed the bike up and down while sitting still but it just doesn't do the same squeaking.

I can live with the squeaks if I have to, but I am used to being silent, stealthy and svelte. Squeaky doesn't mix well.

Thanks

WNC Steve
