squeak after rear spring install

Mr_PharmD · 12-18-2011, 07:50 PM

Hi, I just installed my rear hr sport springs and koni shocks and now I notice a squeak when I sometimes turn and also when I push down on the rear body when the car is parked. Sounds like someone is getting it on on top of a creaky old mattress. Anyone have some ideas what this is from? Car was quiet before the rear suspension install.

You will just have to make sure if you installed everything correctly. Make sure if the rubber isolators(pad) sat properly. Don't spray any lube on any rubber piece cause it will only make it worse on the long run. Make sure they are clean and dry.
