I've had coilovers on my car for over a year now and one just started sqeaking over every change/bump/hole on the road. Does this mean its shot, or its just making noise.....can I stop the noise? Thanks for any help on this....and i haven't looked around yet so if this is discussed elsewhere let me know. Thanks,

you could always try greasing the top caps of the front coilovers. i doubt under normal conditions your suspension is exceding the total height of the springs. it would take a large bump to do that. if you're just in a parking lot, and it's creaking, then the springs probably are moving just a little, but a little grease will let them do this, without compromising any performance.
