I've recently developed a bit of a front suspension squeak, perhaps from 45 miles of dusty washboard down in Baja recently (Mark Drillock's whale trip). Any recommendations for how to "temporarily" deal with that? Like shooting some silicone spray up around bushings and pivot points? Or some other penetrating lubricant, maybe motorcycle spray chain lube?
