I replaced my suspension with Tein super street coilovers. I love them. good stuff.

However, Im hearing this weird squeaking sound "eeeek" like its the springs compressing everytime i go over a bumb or something. I hear nothing from the front, but the back, holy **** man, all the time.


Is there anything i can do for that? install some sort of padding or something or spring something? When i raised my car two weeks ago to prepare for the snow, I had it aligned afterwards, I rarely heard the squeaking. Then two days ago, i was hit on my passenger side and the sound came back. ugh

any suggestions? Maybe the sound went away b/c when the car was raised, the spring stiffness was increased?

 

The springs are supposed to compress when you hit bumps!!! Ok, now that I got that out of the way, sorry I just couldn't resist.

It sounds like we might have at least similar problems. The only time I hear mine is when its cold outside (in the 30's) and it goes away after some time. I think its just a bushing somewhere that is slipping.

 

haha i kno they're suppse to compress when you got over a bump, but they're not suppose to make any sounds! right...?

 

no, not supposed to be any noise. I sprayed my bushings down with some silicone spray and its all nice and quiet for now. Still waiting on the camber kits to come in and then I'll be taking a closer look at things.

By the way, I'm guessing that when you got hit, it wasn't too bad? I mean no damage to anything?

 

i think a portion of my control arm scrapes against the metal frame everytime i go over a crazy bump. ughh
