Subject:front suspension squeak...how to fix?
From:Richard Koerner

I've recently developed a bit of a front suspension squeak, perhaps from 45 miles of dusty washboard down in Baja recently (Mark Drillock's whale trip).� Any recommendations for how to "temporarily" deal with that?� Like shooting some silicone spray up around bushings and pivot points?� Or some other penetrating lubricant, maybe motorcycle spray chain lube?
