   How do you know when a rear damper is on its way out? Will it squeak?
   
   Got a really really really annoying squeak coming from the rear ive gutted everything and cant find the source so im exploring other options?

   tyre catching on inner arch by any chance? dampers usually just go soggy or leak

   seems clear tbh but ill double check.. thought it may be a damper due to it only sqeaking on bumps and stuff!
   
   Its not the exhaust.
   I removed spare wheel and cage
   Had all the wheels of to check brakes
   Ive shook and moved everything I can get my hands on and its all solid!
   
   Seriously getting annoying!

   I have the same problem i think, is it only when the "back drops" eg. acceleration or bumps? I have been told it is the shock's.
