stock 97 standard with stock shocks,when i press down on pass seat the shocks emit a creaking sound that is pretty loud  after i press down on the seat 2-3 times the sound stops,but after a wait of 30 seconds its back..    i used rubber lube n the upper bushings(replaced 1000 miles ago) as well as the lower with no relief..Anyone have any ideas  on what to do??thanks  in advance

stop pressing down on the seat  :D

Squeaking is probably from seat mounts... mine do it.   Remove seat and dab grease or lube on the mounts.  Or lube front and wrap little elect tape on rear stab mount.

Or, it could be the shock creaking. You could put your hand on the shocks and see if you can feel the vibration through the shock :cooldude:
