anyone else have this problem with lowering springs? sometimes when my car is parked stationary, and i turn the wheel, the spring (i presume) makes a creaking noise. i have kyb shocks, and tein springs, so it's not that i have bad quality stuff or anything. i haven't yet taken it apart to take a look at it, but i probably will sometime in the near future. if anyone has any thoughts on this, that'd be pretty sweet. Thanks.

some times the noise is caused by the spring binding on the upper perch.
when you turn the wheel, the spring (if not lubed up top or on a bearing system) will bind and twist, thats the creak you hear, some times you'll hear a pop as well. Bearing grease on the very top coil will help (this could be 1 of a few reasons) |
