RZR S FOX SHOCKS

OK FOR THE GUYS THAT HAVE THE FOX SHOCKS , if your machine is squeking and you cant find it ! pull your shocks off and the shock eyes have mono balls in them . pull the spacers out and clean them with WD40 and free them up . then grease them very good , this is now gonna be on my 6 month service if not more often !

Yea mine squeak. I need to do that. It's getting louder

Thanks alot Chop! I wondered what was squeeking so bad.

Thanks for the info....will this work on the JBS shocks

it should help , if nothin else they wont wear out because they have grease

Good one Porkchop...I've been doing this to mine every 4 or 5 rides. That dang squeek will drive you crazy!

Has anyone tried liquid teflon spray....that should work without having to take them off...

I spray my Walker Evans shocks with CLP - gun cleaner/lube before each ride.

I just play my music louder

Bubba...it's still a good idea to take them off every once in a while. Even after washing mine and I take them off there is still grit on them. When I take them off I clean the mono balls with brake clean, spinnig them to get all the gritt out. Then spray TEF-GEL on them. No squeeks and it keeps wear to a minimum.

you have to pull them off because there is a fat rubber o-ring on both sides that keet the spray oils from getting to the mono ball

The front end of my XP was squeaking like an old mattress. I took the front shocks off and cleaned/lubed the Heims and now the front end is quiet as a mouse. I will do the rear shocks next.

Like Porkchop said, the Heim balls are inside of O-rings, so external lube will not penetrate.

Well said. One night when I was having a bad night at work, I started thinking about how many hrs I have to work to pay for this thing. I almost got sick.
