please help.Fork creaking

[mad bout mtb]

Hi my manitou sherman fork is making a creaking noise when i compress it.Is this a problem what is it?PLEASE HELP

[techguy]

Probably needs a service, But normally the spring in the fork needs to be greased, I've found that the spring can rub against the inside of the fork and cause the creak, so smother it in grease and reassemble...

You can also investigate if the creack isn't perhaps comming from where crown (I think - the bar that connects to 2 stansions) meets the headset pipe.

My Fox had a creak and apparently it come from there.
