Default Squeaky Front Shocks

I've got squeaky shocks. Seems to be a medium pitched squeak when I hit a bump or sit on the bike hard. Mainly happens when the forks are depressed slowly. I'm guessing that this is from the shocks. So, I have a few questions...

What would be a normal or known cause?

The shocks are stock 93. Should I try to fix the squeak, or get new ones?

Would shocks from, say, an 09 fit, or would I need to modify?


And no, I haven't checked the air in the shocks recently.
