Is there any way to grease or oil the rear shocks?  Mine have a bit of a squeak in them.  It's mostly noticeable when my wife jumps on.  The extra movement of a second body seems to get it squeaking... << Insert bad joke here... >>   crazy2 

They work decently.  I was thinking about getting new ones, but that's lots of $$$ so i was hoping to just shut these up and run them a bit longer.

Are you sure it's the shocks?  Have you checked your bushings lately?

if the bushings are ok, give them a shot of  lube. what ever you have handy.
see if that quiets them down.

Bushings look OK.

They were made by a former VRCC member... may he rest in peace...  Cry   

I'll try greasing them a bit and see if that helps.
