Default Annoying noise coming from shocks!!!

After putting in my kyb shocks and my ground controls, I get this squeking noise that comes from the front passenger side whenever I hit a small bump. Is there anyone else with the same setup that has experienced this annoying noise on their integ? What can this noise be coming from and how do I get it to go away? TIA

It might be your spring rubbing up against the GC aluminum sleeve. Check it out before you destroy it if it is that.

I dont think thats the problem. I remember using the rubber o-rings to seperate the two. Anything else it could be?

I had the same problem, but mine was in the rear. Rides fine but theres an annoying clank when you hit bumps and such. The advice that i got was to a. spray white lithium grease on the top and bottom 2 springs or b. get some hose and wrap it around the top and bottom springs. good luck.

its more of a squeking noise then a clanking noise, but i'll try out the lithium grease tomorrow. Thanks for the info!

coil overs make noises sometimes. if you don't want noises go with basic springs. what happens is the movement from the spring not being tight in the spring seat and cap makes play and sometimes noises come from that. you can also get a cluck sound if you hit a bump depending on how low because the spring is coming off the seat a little.

The squeaking has something to do with the bushings I believe. I had a thread on this 'cuz my DA is givin me all sorts of creaking/squeaking problems on the rear passenger side. Here's the link: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=931299
