Hello all

, I did a search before posting this but no help found. So basically Just had car lowered on stechs (09 corolla xrs) and car rides great and looks great too but now my car has started squeaking when driving over any type of uneven pavement. I can replicate the noise by opening the trunk and pushing down on the car as if going over a bumpy road. Anyone else experience a squeak after lowering their car? if so what did you have to do to fix...this squeak could drive a person crazy

sounds like you put something on wrong and now it rubs.

did you install them yourself?

what i'm getting from you is that the car squeaks when the suspension is moving up and down?

i'd take it off and reinstall to see if it does anything.. make sure you don't have any wires, or metal moved/ bent whatever during install.

I took the car to a shop to have installed...no noise after I drove until about 80 miles later that it just started to squeak like crazy.... thanks for the advice guys... so I take it no one has had this issue so far...I guess I'll have to take it back to installer...but still anyone else who has had this issue I would like to hear from them to see what issue it was for them.
