Bad squeaking on the front of X4 Live Valve

I have bad squeaking that is driving me crazy in the front suspension. It’s very loud. What are some things I can do?

The word is buying a krk fixes all those problems but idk.

If it happens from bouncing, you can squirt a dry lube on the springs, they might be rubbing on the shock body. WD-40 will collect dust so I wouldn't use it. If the squeak stops you'll know what it is. If you think it's a rotational squeak, like an axle in its seal, try the dry lube there.

Not going to lie I love the krx. When they come out with a 4 seater I might look at them.

Not sure if I have the same squeak or not but I have a bad one for sure! Had it since about mile number 2 LOL. It is something in the suspension, like an a-arm bushing. Most noticeable when the engine is off and it is nice and quiet, then you step out and the suspension moves a little. I wish the bushings had grease zerks or something, I don't know how to lubricate them? It was doing it way before I put the 32s on.

Try clocking your springs..

What does this mean? rotate them around?

It's recommended to have the tender and main spring ends 180° from each other.

 

[JTW]

Yes.. rotate them. They say 180* but sometimes that’s not where they seat best. Just rotate them until they gave the least amount of bow possible.

Pretty sure a 4 seater KRX won’t fit on the trail....🤔
