Default Odd squeak in rear...like springs?

I get a weird clicking noise or squeak when getting on the cart or driving around. Sounds like the rear springs, but I've sprayed everything with WD-40 trying to hunt it down to no avail. Is this a common thing and someone may know? Not sure....

join in if you have a theory.

Maybe this is a dumb idea, but did you check to see if it could be a staple or part of the seat rubbing funny on the body where it rests when closed?

No no...this is definitely coming from the springs / rear wheels / bumper area. It's like a creaking noise.

You can rock the cart and hear it alot of times.

When you say rock the cart, is the suspension moving at all when you do this? Maybe something in the rear brakes??

If you walk by and rock it...it'll make the odd creaking noise. I gotta think springs...or hangers...something like that.

Maybe I'll disconnect the shocks and see what that does.

What's with the odd spring perches in these? Looks like they have a pivot setup. No?

Get a squirt bottle and soap and water,start low on one side and see if you can find it.
Check a loose u bolt also.
