Default suspension squeeks...

i just installed my koni yellows and neuspeed race springs...well, 3 of them because the bolt on the lca broke off...i went to my local shop and got the other one installed...but when i drive i hear a squeeking noise from that shock/spring they installed...are the bolts not torqued to spec? the suspension is set full soft on all corners...btw, its the rear driver side shock/spring. thanks

i don't think it would squeak from just installing struts and springs. maybe the springs aren't seated correctly.

My car was doing the same thing. The reason for my squeeking was the car was gutting making it lighter in the back and the rear right spring rubber hat was not covering the top of the spring. So everytime I hit a bump it was a like a mouse. But I put back in my rear seats and cover the spring correlctly with the rubber hat and it seems to have eliminated the squeeking. I hope this helps.... every situation is different.

My HB squeaked like mad too when I put my GC coilovers and Tokicos in. My car was also gutted. So I sold it.
