SKUNK2 PROSERIES SQUEEKING
So i recently installed skunk2 proseries full coilovers on my 92 civic hatch, i did the front first until i recieved my skunk2 lower rear lca's so i wouldnt run into problems, the front didnt make much noticeable noises, maybe a few squeeks here and there but nothing bothersome, well i put the rears on and the skunk2 lower arms, and it makes a very loud squeeking noise on and off, the ride is also alot bouncier(but i know sport suspension is gonna be less forgiving) after i added the rear, i shine in engines not suspension, so any sugestions would be helpful, maybe i didnt lubricate something i should, or something stupid, ive switched out oem suspension before, but this is first time using aftermarket stuff.
What sort of bushings in the LCA's? P/U has a habit of squeaking if unlubricated.
If rubber, did you remember to "unload" the bushings before dropping the car? Meaning, if you tightened the LCA bolts while the car was jacked up in the air, then they'll be twisted when you set it on the ground under the weight of the car. That could cause some squeaking.

Their the standard poly bushing that come in skunk2's, i used antiseize on the bolts that went through the bushings(maybe thats not enough?) but i didnt use anything on the strut tops. and yeah i tightened the lca bolts while the car was on the lift. also whats kind of unusual is that the rear strut rod nuts at the top they tighten but dont seem to grab like the front did, like the front will stop when u zip it down, but the rear will tighten but still keep spinning with the air gun on em, should i try washers, maybe thats whats causing the noise?
