Default Uh oh, sweaky suspension
Recently (last Monday) had Eibachs/Bilsteins installed. Today was the first day I rode with a passenger (girlfriend), when we noticed a sweaky noise. It turned out it was the rear passenger suspension. It made a noise, which sounds just like a squeaky bed. Is it just the spring settling in? I'm going to call the installer tomorrow but just wanted to check it out with you guys.

I had the same problem. A little squeak in the front left spring for the first 3 weeks.

Default I thought it was more of a chirpy sound that the control arm made?
This sounds like it's coming from the spring compressing.
