Hello all, I just had Eibach Prokit Springs and Koni Yellows installed on my vehicle. After installation, I noticed a squeaking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. It sounds like a rubber squeaking noise from both corners. It occurs when driving, and when going over bumps. The tech at the shop where I had the car aligned sez its the rear lower control arm bushings. Just wanted to check with you guys. Should I replace both bushings? How about shock mounts?

Thanks

I had the same problem and it drove me NUTS. You will also notice that this noise will appear for a couple of days when it gets wet (rain) - and then will go away in a week or so time.

I called Koni for this issue - their resolution was "rubber mount... is getting lubricated."

Took car to the install. He raised the car and cut off some of the boot (like reduced its height by a couple of inches) - I believe it is item 6 in the figure - it is like a rubber boot.

Haven't had the problem since then. hth

The problem is the upper rubber mount. The rubber gets lubricated

How did you make out Turkeybaster115? I have Koni FSD, Eibach ProKit & KMacs going in this or next weekend and would hate to end up with problems. Anyone with FSDs, help/pointers will be greatly appreciated. Any recommendations on good indy shops knowledgeable about our cars in the North of Boston area?

Finally got this problem solved at my local indy shop this Saturday. It turns out they had to cut both bump stops until the stopped. The stock bump stops are too long for the drop.

BTW, if anyone wants my OEM springs and shocks, used but still in great shape, please PM me, and they are yours cheap!
