| I have been hunting a squeak in my rzr for some time now and have been using a lot of grease and it still didnt help ! so I pulled the rear shocks of and pulled the spacers out and the mono balls in the shock eyes were froze up ! so I sprayed them down with wd40 and cleaned them and got them freed up . then greased them real good and put them back on and the squeak is gone ! so now Im gonna put it on my 6 month service if not more often ! just thought yall might want to know ! | |

| The 2.0's that I have dont have that ball design. They have spacers that ride in a o-ring/seal design. Most of my squeaks have always been the swaybar. | |

| Over-tightening the shock mount bolts will also create a squeak. | |

| I take the oil ring out it is what stops the oil from getting to the ball. | |

| Ive never had any squeaks on the 2.0's. They are of much higher build quality than the stock PoPo units. Nothing wrong with the stockers though. I heard Polaris was buying the shocks from Fox for around 80 bucks a peice....and I know what I paid for 4 2.0's! | |
