progressive rear suspension squeak
After riding for a while my wifes right rear shock starts to squeak any ideas to the reason. Thanks, they have the chrome covers on them too

Shock bushings will get squirrelly/heat up over time and could cause a squeaking noise during operation, especially if the shock mounting bolts/nuts have been installed too tightly (the shocks need to pivot on the studs and not be "locked" in place). You could try dabbing on a little silicone lube to the rubber bushings and/or backing off the shock mounting bolts/nuts just a tad to give the bushings a little more breathing room (make sure you use threadlocker). Hope you get it worked out.
