Sorry, forgot to take the picture... But anyway, Nukeproof have said that it's nothing serious/bad, a lot of their 2012 Scalps (I'm not sure about their 2013 Scalps or Pulse's) gain the loud creaking noise on the cross bar above the shock at some point. You just need to take the black plate off, re grease it and then the noise should go when you get back riding, but then it will start again and you'll just need to re grease it...

Not sure about the noise at the top of the shock though near the barrel though... It sounds like it should be the bushings but as you've had them changed I have no idea. Try Nukeproof, they'll be happy to help and should know what it is or could be!

Yeah seemed to go away after 2/3 rides. Mega annoying though as I rebuilt and re-greased the bike three times lol

Seems fine now. Thanks for your comments which helped me get this resolved.

Had the same problem...disassembled the rear shock, re-greased it (bearings), put it back on and the noise is gone.
