my TEIN basics go ra-ra-ra lol
well, i just recently installed my tein basics. after about a week or two without any problems they are starting to make noise.
while decelerating and/or coming to a slow stop my front drivers side suspension slowly makes a sounds like ra-ra-ra-ra-raaa. and sometimes while making a slow right turn it does the same thing but a little bit different.
at first i thought it was my power slot slotted rotors maybe screwing up and and rubbing the brake pads incorrectly while braking, but now is does that even if i'm not hitting the brakes.
i'm worried because it seems to be increasing little by little and i don't want something to go wrong and end up stuck somewhere, or maybe even cause an accident.
i've had a very busy week so i haven't been able to take a look at it yet. so i'm asking anyone to give me advise on what to check/loosen/tighten or possibly what exactly is causing my problem, so when i do have time i can go straight to the problem area.
thanks guys!

Rep Power: 0 i have the tein basic and i have noise coming from the front driver side.. the guy who installed it said can't find anything wrong with it... he said lubricant is going to help much.. but now i'm thinking maybe it's something with the front sway bar or endlink something like that??? i really have no idea and want a clear answer myself too... i'm kinda sick of the noise and i just crank the music out loud... :-(
no problem with my basic.
-make sure locks and all nuts/bolts are tight
-01 bearing?
-enought tension on spring, because i had my rear spring boot seat rubbing on the spring once, and it made some nasty sounds.

u need the upper mount, u may need the bearing if yours is broken, you'll know you'll need the bearing if ur hammering away at the knuckles and little ball bearings are falling out from the top of the strut, as in my case
