Annoying Squeak! :( - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So I installed my H&R spring yesterday and finally got a chance to try them out today.... well they work great except for the annoying squeak that the car makes when i go over a speed bump or sometimes while turning through a dip. Someone please help! did i not tighten something or what could it be? Thank you

mine do it... i have TRD springs but not as annoying as it first was... I am curious to why they squeak? and we have two different types of springs...

it appears to be my front spring only... i could be wrong but i pretty sure its just the front. please help anyone. I was also wondering if the springs will settle over time or if they will stay the way they are?

Thank you

It is only my fronts to that squeak...and i have had mine in since Christmas...I thought it was just becasue of the cold weather we have in Chicago but I'll talk to one of the techs at Toyota and see what they think and ill get back to you unless someone provides an answer before then.

wow that weird/funny... same problem with different springs. Yeah please let me know if you get any info.

the coils of the springs are twisting/flexing against each other as you turn the wheel.

i'm not sure exactly what to search for, but there is a thread around here somewhere that mentions greasing the springs itself, which seems to alleviate the squeaking problem.

EDIT: found it - Cure for front end clunk/pop/rattle/thump noise with TRD springs
