Bad squeak in the Rear

Piper1 · 06-04-2019, 08:32 AM

I have a 2009 RXV... Severe squeak coming from the rear. I have used multiple cans of oil to lube everything but nothing seems to work. I have ordered new rear shocks and leaf spring bushings hoping that will work. Anything else you recommend? Thank you...

Have someone stand on cart and bounce it, while you try and pinpoint the location.

Cut a 2x4 to length for one side to block the axle to suspension movement, bounce it after you put the board in place.

If it doesn't squeak, you've narrowed it down to one side or the other. Be sure and try both sides.

My rear spring bushings are gone, and it squeaks like crazy! I have the bushings, but am too lazy to do the install.

Mine squeaked. I tightened the axle nut and it went away.

I don't know if the RXV rear leaf suspension is like that of the TXT. When I hear it begin to squeak, I know it's time to replace the rubber shackle bushings.....each side 4 in the back.....two in the front.

I've oiled 'em when they squeak with regular engine oil, synthetic spray oil, and I may have tried whale fat once. (Not really....but it seemed I tried everything)

Once the bushings are replaced......all is quite.
