New coilovers... Queeking problem

[JROC]

Got my MM coilovers install today and their great except that after about 70 or so miles the left front went to queeking, constintly while its in motion. Not cool. You will not relise how much your suspension is constantly move until you ride in my car right now. I don't think their installed wrong, they were counterbalanced and the car was aligned and doesn't pull at all. The shop that installed it is very highly recommended by both Mustang and Fbody owners, and they have some very badass cars, and the owner Dave is very knowledgable about the Terminators, but it an hour + drive for me.. They even own a 2.3L Whippled Cobra thats making 735 WHP on pump gas. The Double C looked very cool parked right next to it.

Anyway can ya'll think of what could be causing this. It sounds like its coming from the strut tower but the shocks and struts are brand new Bilstein Sports that MM valves themselves. All I know is I can't afford to keep throwing money at this car especially to fix stuff that shouldn't exist. I have never heard of MM coilover queeking like this. I'm going to call MM tomorrow and try and figure this out.

well after driving a bit its ALWAYS good to check your bolts and make sure all are tight. While doing this add some lube to the bushings... see if that fixes it or helps it~

Damn, were you drunk typing that?

Anyhow...from what I am hearing and reading, coil overs are going to be noisy...however I haven't heard anyone describe the noise as creaking...more of a slight clunking periodically.

It sounds like maybe the springs are quite seated right...or like spec said, your bushing just need some lube. Did you replace the front bushing with urethane/derlin bushings at the same time or are they still stock?

MM told me that it was more than likely the spring rubbing either the C/C plate or it rubbing the threaded shaft on the C/O.

I can grab my fenderwell and shack my car and it will squeek like crazy. The only time it wasn't squeeking is when I was braking hard.

No, but I did have a bunch of mispellings.

I guess its because I haven't been getting much sleep lately and have been tired. My damn boss has me coming into work tomorrow morning and I don't get off until like 2 or 3 in the morning to begin with.
