Hey i saw when i searched that you were making your springs stop squeaking by using wd40. I have goldlines and i am having the same exact problem in the same exact wheel, front right. I went back to the shop where i got it installed and the guy said i need to replace my bushings, but im thinking ill try your method first, i just dont know exactly where to spray the wd40, and did you find any other better lubricants, thanks.

Do a search first next time. Hey yea, I had the same problem. Go to your local autoshop store and get the spray can of white lithuim grease. You can get the tube form too but it's up to you... I've used both and they work the same- spray is just easier. Anyway, jack up the side that makes the noise (when you turn your wheel, right?) and spray or apply the grease to where the top of the spring meets the perch or housing. That should be it, I sprayed the bottom, too, only because that was another part where metal was touching metal. Hope that helps.
