Depending on what your "squeak" sounds like, it could be a number of things. Your pivots could be dry and need lubrication (any good waterproof grease will probably do, in SMALL amounts) or bushings replaced, or maybe a bolt is loose. That can sometimes cause some noise.

See if you can locate where the sound comes from on your bike, specifically. If you can explain that and what kind of bike it is, it may help. Can ya provide a picture with an arrow pointing to the point where the noise comes from? Even better.

Hope to help you out here.

It could be the bushings or a bolt. Also it may be the shock itself. But start with the bushings.

yeah hes hit the nail on the head i think, it's normally your bushings/bearings under strain, sometimes your shock can be a bit screwed as well
