Default Spring squeaking....

I just recently got my Tanabe NF210 springs installed. I notice that there is a loud "squeaking" coming from just my front driver's side spring. All of the other springs are pretty quiet.

What would cause this? Any way I can fix this?

Thanks!

may be the struts either loose or too tight when they got put back together.

might just be settling. when I did my coilovers they were squeeking for about a month.

but I just put DF210s on and I havent heard a peep out of them, so it could also be something not tightened on the strut.

Hmmm. I'll have to see if the squeak goes away. Like you guys said, maybe they're just settling. If not, then I gotta get it fixed cuz it's gonna drive me crazy! lol

My suspension creaks a bit over speed bumps and when I turn (slowly) on an incline.

Tanabe NF210's installed Feb 2010.

I still havent not heard a single squeek out of my DF210s. Also, I love the ride of them sooooooo nice.

After posting this back in April, I was giving it time to see if the springs we're just settling. My spring still creaks/squeaks. It's only the front driver's side that does it. All of the others are quiet. Any help?!?

take it back apart, put it back together and see if it squeaks after that.

the only time my suspension squeaked on my was on coilovers for the first month. Then I had a squeak noise coming from my engine and it was my short ram intake rubbing on my heat shield.

your best bet would just be to take the spring back off the strut and see if there is anything stuck in there or something.
