Have a 84 200x that has always made annoying creaking sounds since i bought it. Can't seem to figure out exactly where it is coming from although i suspect it could possibly be a swingarm bushing issue or something with the rear shock. Has anyone else experienced something like this? I can literally put one finger on the seat with light pressure and it will creak. Drives me nuts!

Pull the swingarm bolt and check those bearings in the swingarm. I would do that before I looked at the pivot points for the shock

My 85 350X was squealing for mercy every time I got on it.

Still did it after pulling, cleaning and re-greasing swing arm pivot.

I ended up cleaning and greasing the upper shock mount/ball to fix the problem.

Now I need to do the T3 but it's on my trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro list since it came back from the dunes on a rope behind a 400EX when the stator crapped out. And then, started right up in camp.
