#27012, "Squeeky Coilovers"


          

Ok I did a search on this one.
I have a buddy who has an Avenger 96' we put some (probably cheap ass) coilovers on it and dropped it to the ground. I told him he needed to get full camber kits for the front and rear. The tires are seriously cambered in.

after a couple of days the infamous squeeking started(rear only). its a high pitch squeek whenever you go over bumps. I think its the fact that its still the original Mitsubishi struts in there. or the fact there is no camber kit and the a-arms are so upward its making the noise...

Suggestions?
Dangers?

Keep a can of WD-40 in the trunk and just spray em down when ever they start to squeek. That should take care of it for a day or so... lol

LOL, Agreed, get rid of the so called "coilovers" and get good springs and good struts and remeber to put the spring seat cushion on.
