My rear suspension squeaks when compressed on my slash 4x4 and feels like it has resistance(shock and spring not attached) I’m guessing it needs to be oiled? Do you oil it? Idk but it’s not compressing smoothly. so my question is what suspension parts do I oil(if I do) and what should I oil them with? I’ve never done much with my suspension parts aside from shocks, springs ever so any help would be great.

any part that moves. many different lubes can be used from graphite power to Zmax micro lube. Id stay away from 3 n1 oil it can and will melt plastics...check for bent screws and oblong mounting holes
 
I use a drying silicone spray, pull the screws out and spray then put them back in
