Hey guys, well I installed Tein type-flexes on my 2000 base lude a few months ago and i'm noticing squeaks when I drive over bumps. I actually noticed it when I first installed them, but I just decreased the setting on the dampers and it went away. I believe the damper is currently set to 12 which is 12 clicks back from the hardest setting. Lately it seems like the squeaking has gotten worse though. I don't know if it has anything to do with the temperature. I'm from Palm Springs and the temperature's averaging about 100. It doesn't seem like anything's damaged.. as far as stifness, it still feels pretty good... no bouncing or anything. So what do you guys think it could be? Something loose? Temperature?

Thanks in advance.

 

bushings?

thats what the spherical top hats do

 

bushings?

spherical top hats.. do you mean the pillow ball mount?

 

had same problem got the car aligned doesnt do it anymore.. they fixed something..lol

 

lol, that's cool. did you have a camber kit? otherwise they can only do toe and caster, am i right?

Any other ideas?

 

those are the 2 most important ones anyways, unless you are DUMPED or have something seriously wrong with your car.. you don't need camber

 

i have squeaks as well. but i replaced my bushings w/ a Energy Suspension Hyper Flex kit.. i changed my lower control arm bushings and soo squeaky.. what is there to do???

 

its the shock collar's on the rear suspension, the bolts are too long

 

hmm.. so what's the solution? sounds like this could be some useful info for more than just me

 

it means you did not use enough lube supplied.

with my master kit i used all lube supplied and it was all gone after i just did the rear.

awaiting more lube for the front.
