Re: Rear shock (suspension)
sounds like your damping has gone. Is there any oil on the shock?

you either need to get the shock serviced or get a replacement

Re: Rear shock (suspension)
The squeaking noise commonly comes from the top shock mount, just need to lube it.
This won't fix the shock though!
