creaking shock bushing/bolts

[ScottD]

I have a manitou metal R coil on my 05 iron horse ojiki and ever since i put drop off triples on it from stance blunts the rear shock has been making a clicking/creaking kinds noise at first i thought it was the headset but then i figured it was the shock bolts and the noise was coming through the frame. Any ideas on how to fix this???


thanks,

I dont know if this would make any difference but take the bolts out and grease them up and put some grease in the hole and see if it works.

FIXED, after pushing and pulling it from side to side for half an hour its the spring moving on the barral if thats what u call it. I just added more pre load. it will be sweet untill i get a new shock in afew weeks


thanks

i had the exact problem with my mountain cycle shockwave 9.5 you have to take all the linkage apart and greese all the bushing and bolts and holes and make sure the bolts are the right length and dont ahve a bit of excess cause this can happen aswell and give abit of play so give that ago if u have further problems add me to msn freeridingfreak@hotmail.com
