Alright I was messing around on here one day and I saw that people were having problems with a squeaking in the rear with their tien SS. Well I am here to save the day..lol...your problem is simple (only because i had the same problem and fixed it). What that noise you hear is your rear dust cover rubbing against the threads. So what I did is take the rear out and low and behold there were rub marks and black crap that had rubbed off onto the threads. So i pulled out my handy dany knife and cut off above the dust cover and presto no more squeakin . Hope that helps

I had to cut mine off my B+Gs as well, so if you're having this problem with any coilover, look into this issue!

Okay, I have the squeek issue.... Started last night with my TEIN SS and I have the same problems as xHotekx has. The whole squeeking when you get in or out of the car, small bumps, or if you push the back end down. Its only on the drivers side rear though.

What exactly does the dustboot cover and are their any repercussions for this?

Well, I sprayed some good ol' WD40 and my squeek went away, lets see how long that lasts....

i had to cut my rear dust boots a lot because i had irritating squeaking sounds when i hit big bumps. But now it's good, no noise at all. When you take apart your shocks look at the dust boot and see how much is touching the coil sleeve thing. Then just cut so it wont rub on the sleeve das whats making the noise is when it rubs together.

Yes, but the dustboot covers it for a reason, wouldnt it be bad to then cut it off and leave the stuff its covering out in the open??

i dont have the squeaking sound but i have a cluttering or clunking sound, anyone know what the hell that is?

 
Rep Power: 320

Nope sorry.

Just glad WD-40 took care of my squeeking!!!

well, the sound went away but i dont wanna say anything because it might come back when i hit a bump. i dont wanna jinx it.

OK what if my springs Squeek and make some kind of poping noise when i turn my wheels?

popping noises is caused by the springs moving inside rather than the strut assembly rotating. What setup do you have? usually cause by improper installation
