SQUEEKY SPRINGS? (kind of)

Alright. I just installed some goldlines about 2 weeks ago. Everything has been great until about 4 days ago. Now, the front driver's side one is making noise. I would say a squeek, but it's not high pitched. It does it mainly at low speeds. Bumps don't affect it. It just annoys me. It's hard to describe the sound, but it sounds like something metal moving around. I did a search, and found some good information on squeeky springs. I'm going to try lubricating it tonight. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I have the same problem. I think its because the rubber coil cover from the stock springs were not installed or not placed properly and the sound you hear is metal coils slapping together.

I put my rubber coil cover on but put it in the wrong spot. It goes on the top few coils of the front springs. I'm gonna fix it today.

It'll go away, I had the same problem. It just takes some time for the coating on the spring (whatever it may be) to wear off in the area that it's "squeaking".
